Children or adults with developmental disabilities (DD) can present significant impairments in cognition, speech & language, and movement. If you or your loved one presents with DD, you might be experiencing challenges in movement, communication, processing information, and/or socializing with others. Music therapy and neurologic music therapy techniques can help!
