Brief description The PEERS® social skill program aims to help teenagers develop the social skills needed to make and maintain friends. The program reduces the complexity of social behavior and teaches simple rules, using modeling and practice. Parents participate in separate concurrent sessions to help them support their teenager with real world practice. The program has not been tested with teenagers with CP/ABI and needs to be tailored for this population and the Australian context.
