This week we speak to Professor Liz Laugeson, creator of the PEERS model and director and founder of the UCLA PEERS clinic about teaching social skills to children and young people who may need a little help to navigate the social world. We discuss the importance of ecologically valid social skills for children and young people on the autism spectrum and the ways these support interaction and friendship building.
As both Liz and Ruth have lost 2 very important 4 legged friends recently, this episode is dedicated to Buster and Buckley and the special friendships we shared together. Run free little guys <3
