Music Therapy for Children with Developmental Delays

As a parent we want to do everything we can to build a strong foundation towards our child's development. Would you like to support your child's creative side while making progress on their early intervention goals? Music Therapy can do just that. At Summit Music Therapy we use a systematic therapy method to assist children in reaching their speech, social, and motor goals from birth to age 6. Music Therapy builds self confidence, teaches age appropriate social skills, provides meaningful sensory input, and builds speech skills that help children be the best version of themselves. Individual sessions are best for children at this age with the goal of combining with others for small group therapy as they age. CONTACT US for a free consultation to see if music therapy will help your little one.
