Music Therapy
Music what?? Therapy??
Music therapy is the clinical and evidence based use of music as a therapeutic tool in a controlled environment by a credentialed professional, to facilitate the accomplishment of individualized goals in order to improve functioning which may be physical, cognitive, communicative, social behavioral, or emotional.
In simpler terms: we use music to reach goals of bringing about improvements in behavior, motor skills, social skills, communication/speech, emotional health, and intellectual development/academics.
