Abstract	The absence of direct intervention and peer and staff training can contribute to social isolation in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Effective interventions are needed to realize the benefits of inclusive education. This study examines the effects of a multicomponent, peer-mediated intervention on the social communication behaviors of children with ASD and their typical peers in inclusive preschool classrooms. A multiple-probe design across three dyads was used to examine the effects of the multicomponent intervention on social initiations and social communication exchanges. Improved social communication exchanges between children with ASD and their peers resulted for each dyad. In contrast to previous research, children with ASD demonstrated increased social initiations but less positive effects for social responses. The study contributes to an emerging body of literature that examines the effects of multicomponent peer-mediated interventions on social communication among preschool children with ASD.
