SUMMARY:Fall 2025 Project Rex Adult Group Begins (18+)
DESCRIPTION:Fall 2025 Adult PEERS Group will meet Thursdays from 4:00PM – 5:30 PM beginning September 11th and continuing to December 18th. (No meeting 11/27.) \nGroup Registration \nParticipants must meet in-person with James Truelove\, M.S.W.\, before participating in the group. Expect the intake meeting to take between 60-90 minutes. To request an initial phone screening\, complete the intake request form here. Once the intake is complete\, call the West Ashley clinic at 843-792-0052 to confirm attendance. \nMost insurances are accepted and Project Rex is committed to serving patients with all insurance types. We also offer a self-pay option. \nEach group session runs concurrently with a session for the participant’s social coach. \nQuestions about signing up? Check out our Frequently-Asked Questions page. \nThe Structure of Adult Rex \nClasses are offered based upon need. Ideally\, we welcome 8-10 socially motivated adult participants and their individual social coaches to attend each session of the four-month series. This maximizes group discussions\, exercises\, and assignment reviews. \nWhat Does it Mean to Be Socially Motivated? \nSocially motivated adults with autism and/or ADHD are … \n– Interested and driven to learn the skills involved in developing new social relationships; willing to venture out within their local community and find social groups with similar social interests \n– Be able to focus\, discuss\, and process a weekly 30-45 minute cognitive lesson on the social skills topic of the week \n– Willing to review and practice the weekly social lesson with their coaches; willing to allow their coaches to discreetly observe their efforts and offer honest feedback \n– Prepared to practice skills in group each week through practical exercises \n– Prepared to practice skills with fellow group members through weekly phone and video chats and report back to group on their efforts to engage in two-way conversations for the first 5 weeks \n– Willing to work with coaches to find and begin attending a social networking group. \n(Note that this happens outside of the Rex Group. Adult Group is not the place where participants will find friends. Instead\, they will be expected to join a community social group and approach people with whom to form friendships. If they already attend activities in the community all the better; they can continue the activity and increase their socialization in that environment.) \nA Note on Mood Issues and Stability \nTo fully benefit from what the program has to offer\, a patient’s needs related to anxiety or depression should be addressed and stabilized prior to participating. \nWhen mood issues are addressed and supported prior to beginning the lessons\, the adult will be able to reach their full potential in the program. Mood issues are part of the required initial assessment\, and they may require a second session to explore fully. \nWho Are The Coaches? \nAdults who live at home without a regularly scheduled socialization outlet or means of transporting themselves to Group will require a coach to assist. \nThe role of coach has been well documented and researched in the PEERS program for young adults and corresponding literature. \nCoaches can be parents\, siblings\, friends\, or other family members. (Though there is no extra charge if more than one family member attends\, there must be only one identified coach for each participant.) \nA Coach Must … \n– Make same commitment as the adult group member; attending all sessions of the Group program \n– Have a cooperative\, supportive relationship with the adult participant \n– Be willing and able to give honest feedback of a positive and constructive nature regarding the individual’s efforts to practice social skills in their natural environment \n– Either live with the adult participant or live nearby (so that the coach can participate actively\, and observe socializations discreetly in order to give feedback) \nWhat’s the Difference Between the Past and Present Adult Group? \nIn brief\, the past Adult Group represented our team’s revision and expansion of the UCLA PEERS for teens program. It contained many of the same teen lessons\, but with additional skills and rules to better meet the needs of adults. \nTo keep the Group curriculum research-supported\, various Project Rex team members and past Project Rex graduate students researched social topics in areas such as humor\, conflict resolution\, electronic communication\, and planning get-togethers.

For Pre-Teen Group … \n\nTeens and parents must be able to commit to the full 8-week program\nNote that this Group has more opportunities for movement based activities\, but teens must be verbal and able to sit and listen to a lesson for periods of approximately 15 minutes at a time\nA parent or parent representative must be present at either group\nTeens are encouraged to complete computer-based homework to practice the skills at home\n\nAlso note that with parent permission\, video modeling will be used in group as a learning tool; participant role plays will be videotaped\, shown to participants\, and shared with parents as well. \nPlease plan to arrive 15 minutes early for sign in and registration. \nInterested patients and family must commit to being able to attend each group session. We can no longer allow patients and family members to join the group after the first week.
