Exploring the Attitudes of Peer Mentors after Participating in the Prime Time Games Peer-Mentor Sports Program
The purpose of this study was to explore peers without disabilities’ perspectives toward students with disabilities and the impact of participation in a season of the Prime Time Games®. The findings were supportive of the Prime Time Games® as a peer education model that can help high school-aged students without disabilities gain new knowledge and enhance attitudes toward students with disabilities. Additional research is needed that utilizes rigorous methodologies to explore and understand the experiences of students with and without disabilities to gain a deeper and more rich understanding of experiences in the Prime Time Games®.
