 This year we were very lucky to avail of Music Therapy sessions for all children in Lios Cúram. Maria Ward Music Therapist from Killorglin came every Monday & the children really enjoyed engaging in lots of song, instrument playing & happiness! The benefits of Music Therapy are numerous & can positively impact cognitive & physical skills, socialization, behaviour & communication.Music Therapists use the medium of music to enhance communication and purposeful interactions. Music, being an enjoyable stimulus, is used in a planned way to affect positive outcomes, such as to assist communication, stimulate, support in times of transition and provide opportunities for choice, control and emotional expression. The effectiveness of Music Therapy to improve the skills and capabilities of people with Autism is supported by a strong body of international research. |
