The Korean version of PEERS® for Preschoolers (PEERS®-PS-K)

The Korean version of PEERS® for Preschoolers (PEERS®-PS-K) is a 16-week, parent-assisted social skills intervention for preschoolers with ASD. The program consists of weekly 90-minute sessions. Children are taught social skills through puppet shows, role-playing, and structured play, focusing on making friends, playing with peers, and managing conflicts. Concurrently, parents receive coaching sessions to learn how to facilitate their children's social interactions and manage playdates in natural settings. Weekly homework is assigned to generalize the learned skills.
