START is excited to announce the launch of the Elementary Peer to Peer Curriculum!

The Peer to Peer Elementary Curriculum is an organized package of resources that Peer to Peer teams can use at the Elementary level to structure their Peer to Peer implementation. Flexibility is also built into the curriculum given the unique needs of each Peer to Peer program.

There is a Facilitator Pacing Guide for each Grade Level (K-5) which contains information about implementing the curriculum as well as each lesson. The theme of each lesson is consistent across grade levels, so if you have students from different grade levels in the same group, you can pick the grade level to implement that best suits the group as a whole.

We invite you to explore the Elementary Curriculum today!

Please note that lessons will be populated over the course of the 2024-2025 school year. 

→ We invite the RCN to distribute the START Training and Training Series Flyers to staff, community members, and families across your region. 

START also developed Training and Training Series Slides for use in presentations.

 The Statewide Autism Resources and Training (START) Project is funded by the Michigan Department of Education, Office of Special Education to provide training and technical assistance to educators in Michigan that serve students with ASD.
