PEERS® for Young Adults is the first evidence-based group treatment program for young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), other neurodevelopmental disorders, and social challenges, and has been developed over the past two decades of research at UCLA.
Adults ages 18-29 register with a designated social coach (can be a parent, caregiver, or occasionally another close individual). An ASD diagnosis is not required, and the PEERS® curriculum can also help adults with other reasons for their social challenges.
We offer a 10-week program consisting of 2 90-minute weekly sessions led by two PEERS® certified facilitators: one for the young adult and one for designated caregivers or social coaches to enable them to support skills development beyond the program.
Young adults practice critical social and relational skills for making and maintaining healthy relationships in all areas of their lives: at home, at work, at school, and with friends.
Research has shown that the PEERS® curriculum is equally effective when delivered virtually, so to accommodate our young adults and their social coaches’ schedules, we currently offer this exclusively online.
Schedule a free 60-minute Intake by emailing kquarterman@seguecenter.org or booking an intake here.
Social and Relationship Skills Services
Social skills practice is a critical piece to helping neurodivergent adults make the most out of all aspects of their lives: at home, at work, and everywhere in between. All of our small group programs include some basic social skills instruction and reinforcement, but a few of our offerings are dedicated specifically to helping young adults form and maintain healthy relationships using appropriate communication. We utilize a neuroaffirming approach to empower young adults with tools while respecting their autonomy and desires to unmask.
Kendall has been teaching social skills for over fourteen years and is a PEERS®-certified facilitator from the Semel Institute at UCLA. Our social skills and communication curriculum incorporates research-backed instruction that can be put into practice out in the real world, including modern applications in online spaces.
Anne Sullivan, PhD, OTR is also a PEERS®-certified facilitator and occupational therapist who collaborates with us in our PEERS® offerings. More can be learned on our PEERS® homepage.

Begins August 21

$1000 full program fee or 5 payments of $200
A hybrid group focusing on peer-directed topics around inclusion, social rejection, neuro-acceptance, unmasking, and finding the people and places where you feel you belong.
Sometimes we’ve felt social rejection so much that we forget what it’s like to spend time with people who “get us” and accept us for who we are.
This group is a safe space to discuss feelings around acceptance, unmasking, and belonging, whether or not you’ve already found “your people” or you’re still trying to figure out how to do so.
