Abstract

This paper deals with “Peer mediated Instruction and Intervention”, one of the twenty-seven focused evidence-based practices established by the National Professional Development Center on Autism Spectrum Disorders (Wong et al., 2014), aimed at teachers for the education of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). For this purpose, its basic fundamentals are collected and the sequence of planning, implementation and evaluation is recommended, with the objective to improve the social, communicative, academic, joint attention and play skills and the preparation for the school life of these students, following a "science to practice” approach.
