My child has gone back to school this term and is actively implementing the strategies taught in the program, on their own initiative. This is a significant improvement in attitude and behaviour. They are more optimistic about making friends and way happier talking to family about how school is going. They’ve exchanged phone numbers with other kids at their new school and started conversations using skills explicitly covered at PEERS.

My daughter found the classes very helpful and didn’t want them to end. She is more confident and happy. Victoria was an excellent coordinator and facilitator of the program. She was instrumental in the group forming a warm, socially cohesive group.

The PEERS® Program was well run and the topics covered were relevant to our students. Victoria makes the course very enjoyable and engages the students to suit their level of experience and understanding.

I am very happy with the program and definitely recommend it to others. My 20 yo son (ASD and ADHD) joined the PEERS Young Adults program as it had been suggested by his paediatrician but we’d put if off as it was hard to find the program being run in Wollongong. I enrolled by son not really expecting a change in his social interactions. Before the program he would only leave the house for work and uni and maybe once a month for other activities. He now has friends over to his house and is confident in social situations going out in person to socialise 2-3 times a week.‍ ‍

This is a great program and I particularly loved the phone call practice and the social events you organised. You really went above and beyond so 10/10 from me!

The PEERS® program provided essential skills and great resources for my son to enable him to communicate more effectively and in a more socially acceptable manner with increased confidence. The program was run in a very professional manner by Victoria Dubourdieu, who possesses the knowledge and understanding that the program requires. She also displayed great insight into applying the concepts involved at a level that was appropriate to the participants. goes here

My 13 year old ASD son is part of this group, and I can attest to its value and success, Victoria Dubourdieu is awesome
