Social Skills
Call me! Lets hang!
PEERS® for Adolescents is a 16-week evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated middle and high school teens interested in learning new ways of making and keeping friends. During each group session, teens are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills in session during socialization activities.
Parents attend separate sessions and are taught how to assist their teens in making and keeping friends by helping to expand their teen’s social network and providing feedback through coaching during weekly socialization homework assignments.
PEERS® may be appropriate for teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression or other social and behavioral disorders. Parent participation is required.
The social skills program is a total of 16 weeks, held every Saturday from 9:00am to 11:00am from August to December. Each student is assigned a Registered Behavior Technician for behavior support and skill acquisition.
