We apply a “partnering” approach in our therapy: working closely with you, your child and your family to get the results that matter most to you and your child.

MUSIC THERAPY

Looking for a musical experience your child will LOVE?

Child’s Play Therapy Center is now offering
MUSIC THERAPY for both groups and individuals!!
What makes music therapy a unique musical experience?

• Music therapy groups are beneficial for ALL children, but for children with special needs it is a great opportunity for them to experience music in a social setting with their peers.
  
  
• Group activities are tailored to meet the individual needs of each child as well as general group goals. All activities are creatively structured to involve every child according to their abilities.

Music Therapy is currently offered by both the Birmingham and Huntsville locations.

Skills addressed in individual and group sessions may include, but are not limited to: social, cognitive/academic, communication/language acquisition, gross and fine motor, sensory-motor, self-help, and emotional development.

"Child's Play Presents" Kindermusik:

Listening activities help “tune” a child’s ear for improved areas in language and attention skills that ensure early school success.

Build social skills such as turn taking and cooperation through group learning.

Strengthen memory and increase attention span through new songs, stories, and rhymes with sufficient repetition to help children remember what they’ve learned.

Boost vocabulary with a variety of poems, songs and stories.

Instrument play-along develops hand-eye-coordination, physical coordination, and a sense of steady beat to help carry out activities such as using a pair of scissors.

A multi-sensory approach to teach concepts such as loud and quiet or high and low strengthens the learning.

Stop-and-go, as well as creative movement and dance activities improve coordination, sequencing, self-control, and the ability to follow directions, and plan and guide behavior.

Child-directed learning happens when children share ideas in class and at home with Home Kits.

Music therapy is provided by:

Karen Joly, MT - Birmingham
