The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is a world-renowned evidence-based, 16-weeks social skills intervention program for adolescents and adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and other social challenges.
PEERS® Bootcamps are designed to teach evidence-based social skills to teens, young adults’ families, practitioners and educators. Bootcamps are a condensed version of the full PEERS® program and focus on a specific set of skills relating to one particular social category.
