Sinopsis:
Limited social skills are a major challenge for teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) that are commonly targeted through social skills interventions. For many young people, having friendships is important. Although most teens can develop and maintain meaningful friendships, research suggests about 1/3 of teens do not have close friends. Most of them struggle with social challenges, shyness, anxiety, behaviour problem, or other issues. Social skills can be learned. It is important for teens to have knowledge, awareness, experience, and have the motivation to improve their skills in making friends. In this webinar, we will discuss the fundamental aspects of social skills and how to engage and maintain a friendship. The participants will get to know The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®), a parent-assisted social skills group training. It is an evidence-based program that has shown to be effective for teens with ASD in several countries/cultures.
