Music therapy

Music therapy can form a part of any educational pr treatment program. The music therapist responds to any sounds or vocalizations initiated by the child, using percussion, instruments or the voice. This improvisation draws the person into a relationship with the therapist and can stimulate expression and develop meaningful communication.
