Some people may see us every day at school, yet be considered an acquaintance, while another person may travel to see us only once a year, and is somehow considered a best friend. The following deck aims to help teens and young adults assess the relationships in their lives. This deck includes... - A review of the 4 types of friendships - A review of the aspects of a good friend - 5 multiple choice questions - A self assessment for the learner to assess the peer relationships in their lives using a checklist Taken from the PEERS curriculum: Laugeson, Elizabeth A, "PEERS for Young Adults", Social Skills Training for Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Social Challenges, 2017, pp. 32-36
