We obtained perspectives on increasing access to general education from high school students who provided ongoing support to their peers with moderate or severe disabilities. Focus groups were conducted with 32 high school students without disabilities representative of students who participated in a structured service-learning peer support program. Analysis of their comments resulted in four categories of student responses: (a) perceived challenges to general education participation; (b) action taken by peer supports to increase access to general education by students with disabilities; (c) recommendations for improving a peer support program; and (d) perceived benefits to participating students and teachers. Findings are discussed and recommendations are provided for (a) refining a model of peer support to promote peer interaction and access to general education and (b) informing practice.
