| Music therapy can enhance the quality of life. It is a 'universal
language' that crosses age, ability and cultural lines. It
is a socially appropriate activity and leisure skill. Most
people
enjoy music; therefore, music therapy can be the therapy that
reinforces all other therapies.
At the Board of DD, music
instructors conduct music sessions in a group setting. They
also provide music
activities in conjunction with classroom staff, adapted physical
education instructors, speech and language pathologists and
occupational and physical therapists. The staff can provide
families with suggestions and resources for using music at
home and provide community agencies with supports.
