We are excited to announce the Malaysian Adapted PEERS®, designed specifically for Malaysian adolescents with autism. This project is a collaborative effort between MARCHES, Lendlease Foundation, and professional partners, aimed at equipping young individuals with essential social skills in a culturally relevant context—all free of charge!
Why Cultural Adaptation Matters in Social Skills Training?
Cultural differences are crucial in shaping how we communicate and relate to one another. Elements like body language, emotional expression, and social cues can vary greatly between cultures. Our PEERS® recognizes these important distinctions and is tailored specifically for Malaysian adolescents. By focusing on local contexts and experiences, this program helps participants develop relevant social skills that they can apply in real-life situations, boosting their confidence and helping them build genuine connections.
