PEERS® Social Skills Groups

How is PEERS® Different from Other Groups?

The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is a social skills training intervention developed at UCLA by Elizabeth Laugeson to support individuals diagnosed with autism (ASD) or other social disorders who have difficulty with peer interactions and relationships.


PEERS® has a strong evidence base for use with adolescents and young adults with autism but is also appropriate for preschoolers, adolescents and young adults with ADHD, anxiety, depression and other socioemotional challenges. Research has demonstrated that gains made over the course of the program are maintained 3-5 years later. For links to published findings of the efficacy of the program go to PEERS® research.


PEERS® differs from other social skills programs because it:

  • is evidence-based
  • includes parents throughout treatment
  • is structured like a class, not a therapy group
  • breaks down social skills into understandable steps
  • teaches ecologically valid social skills based on behavior of socially successful individuals
  • generalizes social skills to “real life” settings and includes skills that transfer to the workplace
