In the current study, we taught three middle school peers without disabilities to implement a commercially available literacy program with students with extensive support needs (ESN). Our teaching package included behavior skills training, ongoing feedback, and visual supports. We employed a multiple probe across participants design to evaluate the efficacy of the training package. Data indicated it was effective in improving the peers' performance. Further, the majority of participants reported favorable perceptions of the peer implemented package.
