Social Bridges™ is a licensed, interactive social skills curriculum for elementary, middle and high school age children.

Small groups are formed according to a child's age, developmental level, and needs. These groups are for children who often struggle with social situations.

Participants learn and practice skills in groups of 4-6 children with two professional facilitators.  Backgrounds of the facilitators may include education, mental health counseling or speech and language therapy.  Facilitators provide social coaching; teaching the skills and providing feedback as to what the child is doing that makes them successful and what they could be doing differently.

Participants will learn how to read and respond to social cues, how to join a group, and how to develop tools for handling difficult experiences with peers. Techniques for teaching and practicing these skills may include:

Role play exercises
Individual Team Games
Cooperative Games
Drama therapy activities
Modeling social behaviors
Handouts
Reinforcement activities
Increased self awareness/self monitoring through videotaping

 

IS SOCIAL BRIDGES COVERED BY MY INSURANCE?
Social Bridges ™ is covered by many insurance plans. In order to submit claims you must have out of network mental health benefits. Your child also needs to have a mental health diagnosis (e.g. ADHD, Aspergers, Social Anxiety). At times single case agreements can be made with insurance companies to provide coverage. We suggest that you contact your insurance company to verify your specific plan and receive any necessary pre-authorization. We are happy to help with this process.

 Families are required to pay tuition in full by the conclusion of the session, prior to the parent conference.  A Financial Agreement must be on file for each family, regardless of payment timeline. Insurance receipts are provided at the conclusion of the session to apply for reimbursement from your insurance company.
