Music Therapy
Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession that harnesses the power of music as a therapeutic tool to achieve non-musical objectives. This person-centered and strengths-based service is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual child.
Through a therapeutic relationship, registered Music Therapists employ a diverse range of music-based interventions to assist individuals in achieving personal goals across various domains, including cognitive, communication, social, emotional, and physical. These goals are assessed, developed, implemented, and evaluated on a case-by-case basis, ensuring a customized approach that aligns with each child's requirements.
Music therapy works because the experience of music stimulates multiple areas of the brain, resulting in multi-sensory stimulation involving auditory, visual, and tactile senses. This unique characteristic allows music therapists to target goals more efficiently across all functional domains, leading to holistic growth and progress.
By leveraging the power of music, registered Music Therapists create a dynamic and engaging therapeutic environment that fosters progress across multiple domains. Whether it's through singing, playing instruments, or exploring creative avenues, music therapy opens up a world of possibilities for children to thrive and reach their fullest potential.
