It teaches friendship skills to autistic and neurodivergent children aged 4\u20136.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It is the preschool adaptation of the PEERS program, which is implemented in more than 150 countries worldwide. It redesigns the ecologically valid social skills instruction used in the adult and adolescent versions to meet the developmental needs of young children.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The program teaches children skills such as finding playgroups, meeting and greeting friends, sharing and taking turns, participating in playdates, being a good playmate, and understanding and sharing information about their own diagnosis.<\/p><p>One of the defining features of PEERS for Preschoolers is that the child sessions are delivered through puppet shows and childhood games, while parents are trained as social coaches throughout the process. In the \u201cParent-Coached Play\u201d component, parents directly practise the skills with their children.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-521e370 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"521e370\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5955d99 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5955d99\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-62856ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"62856ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">PEERS for Preschoolers Training Content<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40ee301 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40ee301\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The program consists of concurrent 90-minute child and parent sessions held weekly over 16 weeks.
