Abstract

Effects of peer versus teacher delivered individualized instruction when teaching basic sight words with a constant time delay procedure to secondary students with moderate/severe disabilities are compared. An adaptive alternating treatment design was used to assess differential effects of the two modes of instructional delivery. Results show that, while both modes of delivery are effective, teacher instruction was slightly more efficient than peer tutor instruction.
