Music Therapy
What is music therapy?
Music therapy is a research-based practice, where registered music therapists use music to actively support individuals in building their communication, emotional regulation, social skills, mental health and wellbeing, attention, and motor skills.
What does a music therapy session look like?
Rhythm Village will work in collaboration with your child’s team to identify the needs of your child and create a customised program that works towards these goals.
Music therapy sessions target areas including:
- communication: receptive and expressive language and social engagement
- behaviour: managing anger and frustration
- motor skills: dexterity and mobility
- cognition: memory, focus, motivation
- mood and emotions
- capacity building and community participation: empowerment, purpose, belonging, self-expression
- creativity and self-confidence
Who runs the sessions?
The program is delivered by registered music therapists from Rhythm Village.
