At The Music Place, we care about the WHOLE child. In both private and small group settings, Music Therapy uses clinically-based, creative musical interactions to support your child's development towards IEP goals and objectives in the following areas:
- COGNITIVE: building pre-academic/academic skills, increasing attention span, enhancing memory, following directions
- SOCIAL: facilitating social interactions, peer awareness, developing concepts of turn-taking, listening to others
- EMOTIONAL: developing appropriate expression and regulation of emotions; alleviating stress
- SPEECH/LANGUAGE: developing speech musculature; improving specific processes of speech production (articulation, phonation, breath support); facilitating neurological development of speech; supporting the use of alternative communication aids
- MOTOR: developing fine/gross motor skills; neurological rehabilitation of impaired functioning; developing compensation strategies to achieve the highest level of independence
- BEHAVIORAL: practicing functional behaviors within individualized and group settings
