GETTING STARTED

MUSIC MATTERS begins the therapy process by gathering information from parents or caregivers through an informal intake, which can typically be done over the phone.  Once background information has been gathered and areas of concern have been identified, an assessment session can be scheduled.  During this initial session, the therapist will present a variety of music-based activities and interventions and note responses to these tasks. After the assessment process, the therapist will make recommendations regarding duration and frequency of sessions, as well as suggest targeted goals.
