LDS is pleased to announce that we are expanding our programming to address the need for social skills intervention!
The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is world-renowned for providing evidence-based social skills treatment to preschoolers, adolescents, and young adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, and other socio-emotional problems.
The Learning Disabilities Society will run a 16-week program that focuses on helping teens build confidence in making and keeping friends.
Please join us online, via Zoom, on Tuesday, November 10th from 6 pm – 7 pm to learn more about PEERS and get early access to our application form. If you are interested in attending this event, please register your interest.
May is Speech and Hearing Month, so we thought it was the perfect time to check in with Melissa “Mel” Henderson, our Learning Support Manager.
