Details
The PEERS Program for Young Adults (PYA) is an online class and discussion forum designed to give young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder a safe group of peers with whom they can grow, collaborate, practice new skills, and hold each other accountable in their joint goal of full independence. Our program is held virtually by design; this gives access to more individuals around the state, and it is a venue that many on the Spectrum are more comfortable with. Classes are held on Tuesdays from 4:15 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.

- Young adults (18-26 years of age) with mild/moderate Autism Spectrum Disorder.
