Music Therapy - High Point Village

About the Therapy

Music Therapy is a research and evidence based practice that uses music to work on individualized social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and communication goals. In-person and tele-health sessions are available within individual and group environments and are open to all individuals from the community.

Sessions address measurable and data-based goals and objectives. Goals may be parallel to goals in other therapies, IEP goals, Reach High, or other areas of need. Individual sessions are offered in 30, 45, and 60 minute weekly time slots, but when appropriate can be offered multiple times a week. Group sessions are offered in 60 minute weekly time slots with varying goals addressed.

Hours: Monday-Thursday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
