Social Skills Training
The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is world-renowned for providing evidence-based social skills programs to preschoolers, adolescents, and young adults who are interested in developing and maintaining close friendships and/or romantic relationships.
First developed at UCLA by PEERS® Clinic director, Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson, PEERS can be used to teach social skills to people with autism spectrum disorder, social communication disorder, ADHD, social anxiety, and other related challenges.
Dr. Mejia Roque is a certified provider of PEERS for adolescents and PEERS for preschoolers
-
The PEERS for adolescents and PEERS for preschoolers are 16-week programs. The group meets on a weekly basis and has a duration of 90-minutes per session
-
Parents (social coaches) and children sessions run for 90-min in separate rooms. While a certified provider works with the children or teens in one room teaching them the skills, the parents are in another room learning skills that will allow them to augment their child’s learning daily
