Empowering Individuals Through Music, Art, and Recreational Therapy

At Advanced Therapeutic Solutions, LLC (ATS), we are dedicated to helping individuals with autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), and severe emotional disturbance (SED) thrive through evidence-based therapy services. Founded and led by Sophie LeFevre, CTRS, MSR, BCBA, LBA, ATS provides highly specialized, individualized care designed to enhance functional independence, emotional well-being, and self-expression.

Our mission is to bridge the gap in therapeutic services by providing accessible, engaging, and person-centered therapy options across multiple Michigan counties. Whether in-home, in the community, or within school settings, we meet individuals where they are—both physically and developmentally—to create meaningful and lasting progress.

Our Services

We specialize in three primary therapy disciplines:

🔹 Music Therapy (MT-BC): Helping individuals develop communication, emotional regulation, and cognitive skills through structured musical activities.

🎨 Art Therapy (ATR-BC): Providing a creative outlet to improve self-expression, emotional processing, and social engagement in a safe, supportive environment.

⚽ Recreational Therapy (CTRS): Encouraging physical activity, social skills, and independent living abilities through structured recreational programs designed to improve overall well-being.

📝 IEP Consultations & Parent Support:
✔ Assistance with IEPs and educational planning
✔ School and community advocacy to help families secure the best support for their child
✔ Guidance in navigating community resources

🚀 Coming in 2026: Recreational Enhanced ABA – A new, innovative approach combining Recreational Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to support skill-building and behavior development in a fun, engaging, and functional way.

These therapies promote skill development, reduce anxiety, and improve social interaction—key areas for individuals with autism and related disabilities.
