SUMMARY:PEERS® Program for Adolescents - Ages 13-17
DESCRIPTION:A Social Skills Group for Teens (Ages 13-17) with ASD \nDuring the pandemic Mary Fox and Shannon Sousa became certified in PEERS® for Adolescents.   Part of this training was to supply them with the tools to successfully host this virtually.  So\, with much excitement\, we are offering our first PEERS® for Adolescents program. \nThere is a “social coach” aspect that is mandatory and simply means that a parent or guardian need to be present for each of our meetings.  Two devices will be needed (one for the teen and one for the social coach) as we will be breaking into different groups.  If you are interested in signing up click the link below to fill out a registration form.  Once that form is filled out\, you will be contacted by Mary or Shannon to complete the intake process.  You are not officially registered until you are confirmed by one of them. \nPEERS® for Young Adults is an evidence-based social skills intervention for motivated teenagers between 13-17 years of age who are interested in learning skills to make and keep friends.  This internationally acclaimed program was originally developed at UCLA by PEERS® Clinic Founding Director\, Dr. Elizabeth Laugeson. During each group session\, teens are taught important social skills and are given the opportunity to practice these skills. A large part of the success of this program is the motivation and participation of both the teen and a parent/guardian as their “social coach” \nTeens will learn about: \n\nConversational skills\nAppropriate use of humor\nElectronic Communication\nHandling Direct and Indirect Bullying\nHandling Arguments and Disagreements\nOrganizing Get-Togethers with Friends\n\n**Due to Covid-19 we have added more material about online/internet safety** \nThis course will be offered online over Zoom free of charge to teens diagnosed w/ASD  living within our service region.  To ensure everyone has a valuable experience\, we are keeping the groups to a 10 person maximum. \nIf you have any questions\, please contact\, Mary Fox\, Certified PEERS® Provider\, at (508) 807-4930.  Please note that email is the best mode of communication maryfox@community-autism-resources.com \nTo Register\, Click HERE!
