Description
- Adoption research shows that adoption has long- lasting psychosocial implications (Jordan & Dempsey, 2013).
- Accumulating research reinforces the association between adoptees and long-term social challenges; research on social interventions for adoptees is scarce (Jordan & Dempsey, 2013).
- PEERS is a 16-week, group psychosocial curriculum initially intended to improve social skills of adolescents with autism-spectrum disorder (Laugeson et al. 2012).
- The original study sought to use PEERS intervention to improve social skills & peer relationships among adolescent adoptees (Helder et al., 2023)
