Adapting the PEERS for Young Adults Program for Autistic Adults across the Lifespan.

The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) is an evidence-based intervention developed for autistic individuals to support social communication, peer interactions, independence, and interpersonal relationships. Despite a demonstrated effectiveness for young autistic individuals in the US and several other countries, PEERS has yet to be modified to support the needs of autistic adults across the lifespan. The present study describes how our team sought autistic voices to adapt PEERS for adults of any age.
