Music Therapy & More welcomes children of all abilities. Some children can’t sit for any/all of the 30 minutes - do not worry if they wander around the room. Some children have limited language - adults can model singing and language for them! Some children have limited motor skills - caregivers can physically assist their child! The music therapist will help guide you during the session!
If you have a child outside of the targeted age range (0-6 years) please call 440-570-5908/para español 440-907-9130 or email info@connectingforkids.org.
Please note: Families may only attend one session per month. This is a safe space for families and this program will not be recorded.
Is there a specific behavior or skill you'd like to brainstorm solutions for using music therapy? If so, stay afterward and chat with the music therapist. You can submit your question when you register or ask them live on Zoom.
This program is supported by a grant from The Nordson Corporation Foundation.
