PEERS®

The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is world-renowned for providing evidence-based social skills treatment to preschoolers, adolescents, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and other socio-emotional problems.

First developed at UCLA by PEERS® Clinic director, Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson, the program has expanded to locations across the United States, has been translated into over a dozen languages, and is used in over 80 countries across the globe.

 PEERS is an evidenced-based social skills group for individuals with ASD, as well as those which have social/emotional challenges associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, anxiety, and depression. The Program’s focus is on making and keeping friends and teaches skills on handling conflict, rejection, and bullying. 

 PEERS is run continuously as 16-week sessions which meet weekly for 90 minutes. Parent(s)/ caregiver meetings are held concurrently to help generalize new skills within the home and community. 

We are out-of-network insurance providers;  some clients are able to get reimbursed through their insurance so we urge you to get pre-authorization as we do not bill insurance. We will, however, provide an invoice that you can submit to your insurance company. 

Age: PEERS Training is appropriate for adolescents aged 11-19. Students will be placed in social groups relevant to their age and skill level.

When: Contact us to join the next session.
