Our current programs include:
Individualized music therapy: Music Therapy sessions are conducted by Board 
Certified Music Therapists and include non-musical goals and outcomes. Music Therapy uses the internally motivating power of music to help children develop language and verbal skills, foster cooperation, increase physical coordination and more, all while building self esteem, reducing stress and most importantly, having fun.
