Description

This study assessed the role of ethnicity in predicting overall social skills improvements in adolescents with ASD following the completion of a 14-week social skills intervention known as the Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS�). The results suggest that ethnicity does not predict treatment outcomes following the PEERS� intervention and that the program is effective for a variety of ethnic and cultural groups.
