Innovative, Creative, Reinforcing
Music Therapy for students utilizes a child’s goals in areas of learning and development (communication, language, gross or fine motor, social, emotional, or behavioral) and finding creative ways to use music or instruments to target the skills needed in these core areas. Music therapy is the use of music for non-musical goals. Music stimulates both sides of the brain, promoting more connections for learning.We excel at finding the ways language deficits are impacting your child in other areas, whether at home or school.
We serve a wide range of student needs with our music therapy program, including but not limited to:
- Auditory Processing
- Fine and Gross motor skills
- Verbal expression skills (including written expression skills)
- Receptive Language
- Attention/ Executive Functioning
- Social / Emotional Learning and Social Skills
We provide a full range of Music Therapy services, including:
- Individual Evaluations to assess how music intervention can assist in achieving desired outcomes in areas listed above
- Individual sessions at office, In-home and in schools
- Co-treatment with other disciplines
- Small Group treatment sessions
- Whole Class instruction and practice
