This paper describes a collaborative project designed to promote integration, operated between one class in a special school for children with severe learning difficulties and many children in a mainstream primary school, involving, on both sites, structured cross‐school, cross‐ability reciprocal peer tutoring in Makaton and mathematics. Evaluation in cognitive, social and affective domains was carried out employing naturalistic observation.
