Music Therapy

Insurance typically approves 1-2 visits per week for 60 minutes depending on the patient's diagnosis and medical history. This decision can be made on a case by case basis depending on the goal of therapy.

Music therapy harnesses the natural structure, motivation, and sensory experience that music provides. However, the music therapist is trained to develop music activities and adapt the music on the spot using evidence-based techniques in order to target the patient's strengths and needs.

The music therapist provides all of the instruments including egg shakers, tambourines, bells, guitars, pianos, and more.

Music that is preferred by the child is the most motivating and effective, so definitely let the music therapy team know what music your child enjoys when speaking to them about scheduling.

The music therapist is specially trained to work with patient's with physical limitations and hearing impairments. For physical limitations, we can use adaptive instruments and equipment and develop activities around what they are able to do. For hearing impairments, these patients typically engage more through tactile senses than auditory as they can feel the music through the vibrations of the guitar or a speaker. They typically gravitate towards rhythmic instruments like drums.
