PEERS® for Adolescents is a 16-week program that teaches important social skills to youth ages 12-18 who want to learn new ways to make and keep friends. During the weekly group sessions, teens practice these social skills through fun activities and discussions. At the same time, parents attend their own sessions to learn how they can support their teen. Parents will get tips on expanding their teen’s social network and providing feedback to help them complete weekly homework assignments focused on socializing. Parent participation is required for this program which is designed specifically for teenagers diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Cost: $2100 Families may use their funding through the Autism Funding Unit

Sept 1 – Dec 15, 2026 Tuesdays 6:00PM-7:30PM

As visitors on this land, ACT - Autism Community Training is grateful for the opportunity to work and learn on the ancestral and unceded territory of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, xʷməθkʷəy̓əm and səlilwətaɬ people who have lived in this area since before recorded time. These nations are hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples. The hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh languages are part of the Salish Language family, which dates back many millennia. We pay our respects to elders past, and to those present and emerging. As settlers to this land, we are committed to working towards reconciliation. Read ACT's Statement of Reconciliation.
