Music therapy uses my son's love for music to teach him how to learn, play and interact with people. He used to be very unhappy and appeared unteachable, but music therapy broke down that wall and opened the door for him to learn in other settings. Now he is excelling in all of his therapies and schooling. It seems that every major accomplishment he does first happens during a music therapy session. Parent of a child with autism
My daughter has had major challenges academically and socially for her whole life. Since beginning music therapy...her academic skills have greatly improved and her communication skills have probably progressed more than ever before in her life. This has truly affected her social success and self-esteem...The skills my daughter is learning in music therapy have transferred to nearly every other aspect of her life.

Through music therapy...[my grandchild] was able to attend a fireworks display and sit through a movie at the theater without shutting down or running away. He can articulate information read to him when asked, he is beginning to express feelings, and he is beginning to play and socialize with children at school.
