The Effects of Trained Peer Tutors on the Physical Education of Children who are Visually Impaired

Abstract

This study examined the effect of trained peer tutors on the academic learning time–physical education (ALT-PE) scores of children with visual impairments. It found a mean increase of 20.8% for ALT-PE and increases in ALT-PE scores for closed and open skills and that trained peer tutors were more effective than were untrained peer tutors.
