05:19pm EDT, 19 Apr 2013

PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (April 19, 2013) — Teachers are trained to accommodate and relate to students who have disabilities, but children usually aren’t.

Dr. Patricia Egan, professor of school psychology, is out to change that. She is co-directing a new program with adjunct lecturer Andrea Martino that promotes friendships between students and their peers with autism spectrum disorder.

The Peer Network Program recruits students who exhibit maturity, empathy and respect for their peers.
