It is important for children with autism to form social relationships among peers to prevent social isolation and to experience the benefits of developing social contacts. The current study trains preschool peers how to interact with their peers with autism through the use of floor time. Floor time is an educational model adopted by Stanley Greenspan.. The purpose of the study was to determine a.) Can typical preschoolers implement the steps of floor time with their peers with autism and b.) Do peers with autism demonstrate an increase in their communication interaction with their typical peers when the steps of floor time are implemented? The current study had four participants, two typical preschoolers and two preschoolers with autism. Results indicated that typical preschoolers can learn to implement the steps of floor time with their peers with autism. The study also showed children with autism exhibit increases in communication behaviors.
