Conclusions• This morning, the Peer Support students
described their participation as LINKS and the many incredible ways they have matured and grown while supporting students with ASD
• We now also have data that demonstrates how these outcomes translate into improvements for these peer supports in terms of grades, behavior problems, and school absences
• How might these experiences translate into lifelong outcomes?
