Last week we ran a blog post looking at music therapy for children on the autism spectrum.
So I was very interested to read this fascinating note from The Rhythm Tree web site. You can check them out here

| HeatherLynn4 | Thank you so much for sharing and bringing to light the wonderful things that music (especially MUSIC THERAPY) can bring to people on the Autism spectrum! I am a board-certified music therapist on Long Island, specializing in Autism and developmental disabilities in children and young adults. I have the pleasure of sharing and engaging in therapeutic musical activities with children and teens everyday, and get to see the direct impact it has on their lives. Not only does music bring enjoyment into people’s lives, but for some…it can bring out language, socialization and motor skills that never existed before. It is an EVIDENCE-BASED practice in which a board-certified music therapist can assess the client’s individualized needs and provide musical interventions to assist in reaching goals. I have personally seen the look on a parent’s face during a music therapy session when her child says their very first word at 5 years old. You can’t beat that! Music is a motivator for us all. It only makes sense! If you’re interested in more information, please feel free to check out my website at: http://www.therapeuticmusicinfo.com or go to http://www.musictherapy.org for more detailed information on how music therapy can help your child with ASD! You can even search for a board-certified music therapist in your area! If you live in the New York/Long Island area, check out http://www.familycenterforautism.org to sign up for a trial music class with me! 🙂 |
