"Music is the rhythm of life."
In the practice of Music Therapy, music is used as a creative tool to improve the mental and physical well-being of a child.
Music Therapy is a vital component to many children's treatments at Unique Prints.
Music Therapy compliments and enhances traditional therapeutic interventions.
Why should your child participate in music therapy?
- Brain development is dependent upon sensory stimulation and the greater the sensory environment, the greater the development.
- Rhythm and melody of music are utilized to compliment the sensory enriched environment of sensory integration therapy.
- Once the sensory systems are opened up, active participation in the musical process can be targeted on the brain.
- The music is tailored during the session to maximize the goals of each child.
