Services for Post-Secondary Institutions
Awareness, Education, and Training
We provide educators, caregivers and employers with a greater understanding of the needs and strengths of individuals with invisible differences. As a result, they are more equipped to help these young people thrive.
Direct Support
PEERS®
Program for the Education and Enrichment of Relational Skills (PEERS®) is a 14-week, evidence-based, social skills intervention developed at UCLA for teenagers and young adults with neurobehavioral disorders who want to improve their ability to make and keep friends. A parent or another caring adult attends a concurrent, weekly workshop. The program is led by certified professionals. At Center for Companies That Care, we are holding sessions at our office, starting this fall. For more information, visit our PEERS® page.
Research
We value research as a fundamental strategy because we want to to make every adolescent and young adult in our program be employable and employed in a role matching their interests and abilities. The more we learn about students with invisible differences, the more we can help them complete their education and prepare for productive careers. Our research reveals the scope of the issue and the value of the Invisible Differences program. For more information, please visit our Invisible Differences Research page.
