Fall Social Exposures Group
Given the current COVID-19 pandemic and safety conerns, Advanced Therapeutic Solutions is being diligent in finding activities that encompass the therapeutic goals of Social Exposure Groups while taking social distancing and other safety procedures into account. We will be posting Social Exposure Groups once they are scheudled. Please check back for dates and times. Thank you for understanding that the health and safety of our patients and staff is a priority, and for being patient as we find safe location options to generalize treatment gains into the community.

Join us for a specialized program by ATS called Social Exposures Group! The purpose of this group is to help transfer treatment gains into the community setting. These groups are for children who have reached goals in the clinic and/or community setting individually, and who have progressed enough to take their new skills into a more public arena. For children who suffer from social anxiety/phobia with or without selective mutism, community exposures can serve as a catalyst for generalization into new settings.
Social Exposures Group is designed to be a flexible option where parents can pick and choose which groups they would like their child to participate in. All groups are two hours in duration on the same day. The dates offered and a brief description of the activities are listed below. Clicking on each link will take you to the event registration page, where you can register your child. Note that a registration form needs to be completed for each group you are interested in. If you have any problems registering, contact the intake coordinator at 630-230-6505 or admin@advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org.

If you are unsure if your child meets these prerequisites, talk it over with your child's ATS therapist. If it has been over three months since your child has been in treatment at ATS, then a refresher session may be necessary to reacquaint your child.
If it has been over 6 months since your child has been in treatment at ATS, or your child has never received treatment at ATS, and you think this group is ideal for your child's needs, please contact ATS at 630-230-6505 to set up an evaluation or email admin@advancedtherapeuticsolutions.org.
Social Exposures Group is not a long-term commitment; you can select the events you would like your child to attend. The group is innovative and useful for children with situation-specific symptoms that are the hallmark of selective mutism and/or social anxiety. With this group, ATS Therapists can take your child to the next level of exposure by being in the community with your child and treating symptoms in-vivo in a group setting.
The group fee is $95 per hour. By participating in this group, instead of paying for an individual community session with an ATS therapist, you split the cost with other families and avoid a travel fee.
Insurance CPT code is 90853. Statements will be provided to those who wish to submit to their insurance for reimbursement.
