PEERS® of Katy: Young Adults Group (now enrolling)

The PEERS® Program for Young Adults is an evidence-based social skills program developed at UCLA, now available in Katy, Texas. PEERS® (Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills) is designed for young adults with:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • ADHD
  • Intellectual Disabilities
  • Other social communication challenges

Participants receive clear, practical guidance for everyday social situations — making friends, handling conflict, and communicating at school or work. What makes this program distinctive is the partnership between participants and a parent, caregiver, or mentor, who attends a parallel session to reinforce learning through weekly practice.

PEERS® of Katy is a collaboration between The ARC of Katy, licensed psychologist Dr. Lourdes Valdés, and special educator and advocate Dr. Victoria Langford Windslow, who are passionate about supporting neurodiverse individuals and their families.

Program Details:

  • Start Date: Now enrolling for Fall 2026 cohorts
  • Duration: 14 weeks
  • Format: Weekly 90-minute sessions for both the participant and a supportive adult
