PEERS

The goal of this study is to explore the effects of a well-studied behavioral intervention on brain activity. We will be using the PEERS intervention, and measuring adolescents' brain activity before and after they participate. This intervention involves teens participating in a weekly social skills group, and parents participating in a weekly parent group for 12-16 weeks. We are recruiting teens (ages 11 to 15) with ASD and their families for the social skills group, as well as neurotypical children to participate in the brain activity portion of the study.
