Music Therapy
Music therapy is an evidence based allied health profession, recognised and funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Music is used to actively improve their health, function, and well-being.
Music therapy is incredibly versatile and adaptive. At Intune, we focus on assisting children with developmental delays and disabilities to develop greater autonomy and independence. These individuals may have:
Autism
ADHD
Intellectual disabilities
Down Syndrome
Global Developmental Delays
Depending on the individual, sessions may involve singing, listening, instrument learning, song writing, and improvisation. Music is able to transcend all barriers, including physical, cognitive, and social. As such, music is able to assist with:
Communication
Social skills
Executive functioning
Emotional & Sensory Regulation
Fine & Gross Motor Development
