Figure 1. Percent of correct responses for Jake and Louis during baseline, intervention, and maintenance sessions. Discussion The first research question this study sought to answer concerned <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of a peer tutor-training program consisting of instructor modeling and triadic role-play. High procedural reliability data for <strong>the</strong>se training sessions occurred. Eleven of <strong>the</strong> 12 peer tutors selected to participate in this study met both <strong>the</strong> written and performance criteria within <strong>the</strong> allotted time. Both dependent and independent variable reliability data collected during intervention sessions supports <strong>the</strong> effec- 118 / Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities-March 2008 tiveness of <strong>the</strong> peer tutor training procedure. The fact that peer tutors were counterbalanced across students and tasks suggests that <strong>the</strong> peer tutor training procedure was effective in programming for peer tutor generalization across different students and different tasks within <strong>the</strong> cooking curricular area. The success of this program contributes to <strong>the</strong> peer tutoring literature through replicating, in part, <strong>the</strong> peer tutor training procedures used by Collins et al. (1995). However, while <strong>the</strong> Collins et al. study addressed peer tutoring

Percent of correct responses for Charlie and Jonah during baseline, intervention, and maintenance sessions. with discrete tasks, results of this study extend <strong>the</strong> expectations of peer tutors’ abilities to chained task instruction, increasing <strong>the</strong>ir versatility in <strong>the</strong> classroom. The second research question addressed <strong>the</strong> degree of reliability with which peer tutors could implement constant time delay in teaching chained tasks. Dependent variable reliability data indicate that overall peer tutors collected student response data with 98% agreement (range 94-100%) with <strong>the</strong> reliability observer. Peer tutors as a whole were able to implement <strong>the</strong> response prompting strategy with 93% accuracy (range 84-99%). Wolery, Bailey, and Sugai (1988) state reliability above 90% is desirable, above 80% is acceptable. Nine out of <strong>the</strong> 11 peer tutors performed <strong>the</strong> steps of <strong>the</strong> constant time delay procedure with 90% or better accuracy.
