TESTIMONIALS

“Her eyes light up with smiles when Music Therapy happens. The sessions motivate her to interact, communicate, and to learn.”

“Words cannot describe the moment when something clicks for your child and they understand how to do something. Many of these clicks for my son have occurred in Music Therapy and very well may not have in any other way.”

“Music therapy is taking his favorite interests and using them to motivate him to communicate and connect. Sessions include instruments, singing, dancing, and body movement among other things. The therapist is constantly turn-taking and talking back and forth…encouraging him to use whole sentences and respond with his own thoughts and ideas.”

“The evidence is clear that music is critical as a therapy component for many people with disabilities. Not only do the participants enjoy the weekly class, they learn valuable skills and have the opportunity to socialize with peers.”

“Music Therapy is indeed a valued piece in these consumers’ programs, motivating them to interact, communicate, and enjoy music as they do so! It is a positive teaching tool.”

“Our daughter, who has Down Syndrome, has received Music Therapy for the last several years. It has been one of the highlights of her schedule each week. Not only has it been beneficial to her musical skill development it has particularly been a huge support for her speech skills. The interaction with music seems to make the process of speech development much more interesting and attainable.”

“It is a very creative approach to therapy and allows for individual personalities and interests to come through further encouraging connections.”
