Music Therapy:
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Music therapy makes use of our natural ability to appreciate and respond to music. The music therapy room offers a range of instruments that are easily accessible where the child and therapist improvise together, creating music spontaneously. The child develops a relationship with the music, allowing them to overcome social and communication difficulties and ultimately realise their potential for positive communication and interaction. Music therapy offers an opportunity for the child to develop physical and interactive skills as well as creating a positive experience which promotes self-esteem and motivation.
