Music Therapy is an Allied Health Profession which uses the therapeutic use of music to affect changes in behavior, cognitive skills, social / emotional skills, psychological, languange skills, and sensory-motor skills.

Individual and possibly group sessions are available for infants, children and adolescents with special needs such as:

• Speech/language delays
• Developmental delays
• Autism
• Physical disabilities
• Vision/hearing impairments

Adaptive Music Lessons

Adaptive music lessons are offered to students with special needs, and are provided by a board certified music therapist (MT-BC). Lessons are designed and implemented in a way that maximizes the student’s strengths and abilities, while stretching their weaknesses. Though the main goal of adaptive music lessons is learning music, the child may also build upon other skills in the process.

Adaptive lessons help a student to build:

• attention to task
• hand-eye coordination
• visual and auditory tracking
• abstract information processing
• self-discipline
• accomplishment and self esteem
• other skills that may be cognitive, social, emotional, or physical in nature
