CONVERSATION SKILLS MINI SERIES

A six-week social skills class offered for students in 5th-12th grade who are interested in learning new ways of making and keeping friends. Students are taught targeted social skills through instruction, role-play demonstrations, and have the opportunity to practice newly learned skills with other peers in the class. This mini series presents information from select lessons in the PEERS® for Adolescents social skills program. Parent training is not provided for mini series classes but parents/caregivers are asked to attend the last ten minutes of each class to hear a summary of the information presented.

This mini series may be appropriate for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, social pragmatic communication disorder, anxiety, or other social and behavioral difficulties.
