OUR SERVICES
*INDIVIDUAL MUSIC THERAPY SESSIONS:
Often times, one-on-one support is the best form of music therapy to address the client's needs & reach his/her goals. In this case, we offer individually personalized sessions, working directly with a music therapist at our Center.
*GROUP MUSIC THERAPY SESSIONS:
Some clients respond with music therapy sessions offered in a group setting.
Our music therapy sessions cover a variety of services - from mothers with toddlers born with physical disabilities to children & youth with autism, or other deficiencies, or support groups for caregivers - where participants have common challenges or goals that can be helped through music therapy.
In a limited way, the center can:
- provide experiential & educational services such as workshops, in-service trainings, & presentations about music therapy.
- Assess & evaluate the client's needs and capitalize on their clients' strengths to motivate them to reach their highest potential. We consult with other team members (Speech, Physical, Occupational Therapists, SpEd Teachers, Developmental Pediatricians, as well as parents, & caregivers to provide an effective growth development plan.
