Building the Skills Behind Self-Esteem, Self-Confidence & Social Connections

Our services are designed for learners who may not have previously received ABA services, as well as those who have participated in clinic-based ABA programs but no longer require intensive intervention. We provide a flexible, lower-intensity approach for learners who may benefit from continued support in developing social skills, building meaningful friendships, strengthening communication, and navigating everyday social situations.

At Grow Together ABA, we provide individualized, evidence-based telehealth services for children and adolescents (ages 10 – 17) designed to strengthen social communication, friendship skills, emotional awareness, and confidence.

Every service is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and incorporates principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) along with evidence-based social skills strategies, including concepts from the UCLA PEERS® Curriculum.

Our 12-Week PEERS® Social Skills Program

Grow Together ABA incorporates the UCLA PEERS Curriculum into our structured 12-week virtual social skills classes held on Google Meet.

What is the UCLA PEERS Curriculum?

The Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS) is an evidence-based social skills intervention originally developed at UCLA. It provides concrete, step-by-step strategies for making and keeping friends.

Participants build these skills in a supportive environment through a structured approach designed to move learning from instruction to real-world application:

TEACH → MODEL → PRACTICE → FEEDBACK → APPLY

Participants learn skills such as entering and exiting conversations, finding common interests, handling teasing and rejection, choosing appropriate friends, managing peer conflict, and organizing get-togethers.

A core component of the program is caregiver involvement. Parents attend structured sessions to learn coaching strategies that help generalize skills outside of group time.
