How We Help
We create an individualized treatment plan to address your specific needs. Whether you or your loved one presents with Down Syndrome, a genetic disorder, on the autism spectrum, etc., we utilize music and rhythm to build new neural connections that can improve motor control and sensory processing. We also help improve communication by activating language centers in the brain through singing, instrument playing, and creating music.
