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:

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.
