ABSTRACT

The finding of a research synthesis (Kim & Horn, 2010) provides research and professional literature on the effectiveness of siblings’ roles as intervention agents for improving their siblings with disabilities’ age-appropriate skills in their natural environments. Based upon the literature review, this paper provides a practical and user-friendly description of the procedures, strategies, and techniques for implementing a sibling-implemented social interaction intervention to facilitate young children with disabilities’ play engagement and social interaction skills. Thus, practitioners such as early childhood special teachers, family members, and other researchers can after reading the paper apply the intervention with their typically developing children in their natural environment. Finally, this paper implicates that the effectiveness of the sibling-implemented intervention focusing on social interaction skills for young children with disabilities needs to be investigated for future research.
