Music Therapy

What is music therapy?

Music Therapy is an evidenced based profession that uses music to support therapy goals. Registered Music Therapists will assess, plan, carry out and evaluate appointments with your child that address the goals set with the family or outlined in the child’s NDIS plan.

How music therapy can help:

Music therapy can help children with learning disabilities or developmental delays to achieve their goals through 1:1 or group music sessions. Some goal areas include:

• Social skills
• Communication (verbal and non-verbal)
• Self regulation
• Independence
• Movement
• Cognition: such as attention, memory, abstract thinking

Music therapy does not require any prior experience with music!
