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.
