<p>“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 interaction. This 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.”</p><p><b>Catherine Lord, PhD, </b><em>Distinguished Professor of Psychiatry, Semel Institute of Neuroscience and Human Behavior, UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine</em></p><p>“A marvelous addition to our tools for developing social-communication skills in preschoolers this valuable, evidence based program teaches social skills using lessons, play based materials, and group activities.
