Samenvatting:

The PEERS Manual for School-Based Professionals brings UCLA's highly acclaimed and effective PEERS program into the school setting. This fourteen-week program, clinically proven to significantly improve social skills and social interactions among teens with ASDs, is now customized for the needs of psychologists, counselors, administrators, and teachers. The manual is broken down into clearly divided sessions, each of which have their own lessons, homework assignments, plans for review, and unique, fun activities to ensure that teens are comfortable incorporating what they've learned. Each session also includes parent handouts, guiding principles, and much more. Separate sections of the book customize the PEERS program for both daily and weekly use and guide professionals through the lessons, their potential pitfalls and the research underlying this transformative program.
