Abstract
Peer-mediated interventions (PMIs) are an effective support for students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) for improving targeted behavioral skills. As one of the most important strategies in PMI, peer prompting and reinforcement (PR) provides an effective approach for developing and maintaining positive behavior. This article provides practitioners serving elementary school students with and/or at risk for EBD with a step-by-step process for implementing PMI using PR strategy, including steps for intervention intensification when data suggest that as a path forward.
