Music Therapy - Special Needs

Music Therapy is an established health profession similar to occupational therapy and physical therapy. It consists of using music therapeutically to address physical, psychological, cognitive, behavioral and/or social functioning. Because music therapy is a powerful and non-threatening medium, unique outcomes are possible. With young children, music therapy provides a unique variety of music experiences in an intentional and developmentally appropriate manner to effect changes in a child's behavior and facilitate development of his/her communication, social/emotional, sensory-motor, and/or cognitive skills. Music therapy enhances the quality of life. If you feel that your child will benefit from having an aide to facilitate positive change during the group, please let us know so that we can best accommodate your child. No class on October 18th or November 29th.
