According to the American Music Therapy Association, Music Therapy is "the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program." (American Music Therapy Association definition, 2005)

Music Therapy provides the opportunity for individuals of all ages and abilities to grow and succeed in their areas of need.  Goals are developed via an assessment and discussion with the parents, caregivers, and other services that are currently in place (Speech Therapy, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, ABA, etc.).  Goals are tailored to meet the client's needs.  Musical ability, experience or equipment is not needed on behalf of the client.  However, learning an instrument might be an option worth considering for your child and is explained further under the Services section of this site.
