  1. BENEFITS OF MUSIC THERAPY

  2. MUSIC THERAPY FOR BEHAVIOUR Music therapy can be a key part of a positive behaviour support toolkit, helping with the management of triggers and regulation of mood and emotions.

  3. MUSIC THERAPY FOR COGNITION Making music uses many different parts of the brain, so practicing this skill with guidance from a therapist can help improve attention, motivation, memory, and organisation over time.

  4. COMMUNICATION Where verbal communication is lacking, speech therapy isn’t the only technique that can help: singing can, too. Plus, processing music uses different parts of the brain than speaking – there have been many people who can sing but cannot speak.

  5. MUSIC THERAPY FOR COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION Music therapy can help remove barriers to community participation by encouraging the client to discover (or rediscover) interests and hobbies. Certain techniques are used to build social skills, such as reducing impulses and building recognition of cues.

  6. MOTOR SKILLS AND MOBILITY Actively participating in musical experiences uses many parts of the brain. The area responsible for coordinating movement (the basal ganglia, if you’re interested) is also responsible for processing rhythms and movement patterns, so it makes sense that engaging it can help improve its functioning.
