How to maintain a conversation, how to talk on the phone and how to handle bullying are just some of the skills EMU’s PEERS program will offer for high functioning, verbal teenagers with autism.
This is the second program being offered after the success of the initial course, said director Angela Capuano.
“In these kids who have a hard time grasping these skills for years, if you break it down and teach it the right way they can grasp these skills,” Capuano said. “It’s rewarding to see them improve in such a short amount of time.”
The program runs for 14 weeks from September 2 to December 9. Please call 734-487-2890 for more info and to sign up.
