In response to the current trends in inclusive education, the young children with special needs are mainly placed in regular classrooms. The development of positive peer relationship has been considered as an important issue for children with special needs. This paper reviewed articles which used the keywords, such as peer relationship, peer interaction, social interaction, and peer acceptance through the databases of ERIC-ProQuest, EBSCO host Web, airiti library and google scholar. Total included 10 articles from 2006 to 2021 published in Taiwan's journals and 5 published in international journals from the past six years for further analysis. The results published in Taiwan's journals found that few correlation studies, and the majority of studies used qualitative research. While research published in international journals often used quantitative research to understand the peer relationships, social networks and social status of young children with special needs. The topic focused on teacher's implementation of intervention strategies. Two main findings were obtained, including the factors of peer relationships and strategies or outcomes of peer relationships. Most studies revealed that children had positive peer relationship after receiving intervention, but the heterogeneity of young children with disabilities and teaching strategies would take into consideration for further investigation. |
