PEERS for Preschoolers by Elizabeth Laugeson
This manual builds on the success of the PEERS, an internationally renowned program used in over 150 countries and translated into numerous languages, now expanded to work with autistic and neurodivergent preschool-aged children, and those with other social challenges.“The PEERS® program has been a gift to autistic and other neurodivergent teens and adults, their families and professionals who work with them by providing a fun, innovative way of building social skills and opportunities for interactionThis version for preschool children provides a modified version of its step by step, evidence-based, positive approach to how to support younger children in social relationships. It will bring joy, confidence and skills to many children, their parents (who are actively involved from the word go) and the providers who get to work with them.”
