Pediatrics
-
Music is a sensory modality! We help your child meet their sensory needs while working on cognitive, motor, and communication skills that will help them be successful at home & in the classroom.
-
Music and rhythm makes our bodies want to move! We use music, movement, and instrument playing to prime your child’s motor pathways. Goals we work towards include increasing motor coordination, mobility, balance, & gait training.
-
Music has elements that capture and keep our attention! We use Neurologic Music Therapy® to help your child increase and improve their focused, sustained, divided, & alternating attention abilities.
-
Music helps us learn, retain, and recall information! We use music to develop our problem solving, attention, and other cognitive abilities.
If your child has Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia, Auditory Processing Disorder, or a Nonverbal Learning Disability, we can help your child develop strategies for navigating their worlds.
-
Our senses help us respond to the world! Music has tactile, visual, auditory, vestibular, and proprioceptive sensory components. These elements are individualized to your child’s sensory needs. Our music therapists will work on over & under-responsivity to sensory input to help your child be successful in their activities of daily living & social interactions.
You see endless possibilities for your child. So do we.
-
Music helps our brain develop & form new neural pathways! We strive to help your child be the brightest while using music to reach developmental milestones.
-
Music is for all ages and all abilities! Music’s impact on our brain and behavior makes it the perfect medium to work on movement, communication, cognition, sensory, emotional, and social goals.
-
Music makes movement motivating! We use music, instruments, and rhythm to strengthen neural pathways to help your child with motor planning & coordination needs for Ataxia, Dyspraxia, and other movement disorders.

Medical events are scary. Hospital stays impact everything from coping skills to motor ability. We keep your child on track with reaching developmental milestones following hospital experiences while building strategies to help them cope with adversity.
-
Music helps us establish comfort and predictability in an uncertain world! We work to promote pediatric mental health by using music to develop positive coping skills. Goals we work towards include decreasing anxiety & improving mood, while promoting confidence and resiliency.
