Music therapy services can be a wonderful way to support a child’s early years of growth and development. Whether it’s learning basic social skills, such as sharing, or building the foundations of emotional regulation and intelligence, music therapy sessions are tailored to the unique needs and preferences of the child. A board-certified music therapist is trained to understand the influence of specific musical elements on an individual’s overall well-being. Such examples include:

• Repeated, simple melodies for cognitive development and engagement

• Utilization of sensory-preferred sounds (e.g., egg shakers, acoustic guitar, etc.) to stimulate learning and fun

• Incorporation of child-preferred music with simple rhythmic patterns for regulation
