Music Therapy
Music therapy is the use of music, in the context of a client-therapist relationship, to work toward specific cognitive, physical, social, communication and emotional goals.
Sessions are designed and adapted so as to support, encourage and engage each client in making and responding to music in a way that is appropriate for his or her needs and abilities.
Each child is assessed individually and sessions are designed to address his or her particular needs.
A session might include any or all of the following:
- Structured activities to support acquisition and development of language skills
- Structured activities to support other academic, physical, social or emotional goals
- Singing, playing, clapping and moving to music
- Free, exploratory musical instrument playing
