Music therapy is an allied health profession and one of the expressive therapies, consisting of an interpersonal process in which a trained music therapist uses music and all of its facets—physical, emotional, mental, social, aesthetic, and spiritual—to help clients to improve or maintain their health. Music therapists primarily help clients improve their health across various domains (e.g., cognitive functioning, motor skills, emotional and affective development, behavior and social skills, and quality of life) by using music experiences (e.g., free improvisation, singing, songwriting, listening to and discussing music, moving to music) to achieve treatment goals and objectives. _________________ basement waterproofing
Music therapy is the enhancement of human capabilities through the planned use of musical influences on human brain functioning1. At PCDA, Music therapists work individually with children and their caregivers using a variety of rhythm and music-based techniques to engage children with others in purposeful and functional activities. Music Therapy experiences involve children in singing, listening, moving, playing instruments, and creative activities creating a familiar musical environment that encourages positive interpersonal interaction and allows clients freedom to explore and express themselves2.
In the treatment of children with developmental disabilities, neurological impairments, and autistic spectrum disorders, music therapy provides a unique opportunity to address and enhance development in the areas of communication, cognition, motor skills, and social-emotional development. Music Therapy at PCDA is child and family-centered with a specific focus on social emotional development and supporting parent child interactions. _________________ increase facebook fans
