Music therapy and auditory integration in North Wales

Music moves, enchants, energizes and heals.


On a subconscious level music can alter the heartbeat and breathing to relax or energize. It can be experienced and enjoyed by all people regardless of age, music ability or intellect. As such music is a powerful and versatile tool for use with people with special needs and can be used to help improve:

 

Listening

Memory 

Concentration

Coordination

Spatial awareness

Self-esteem

Relaxation

Social skills

Fine and gross motor skills


For persons on the autistic spectrum music can help interrupt patterns of isolation and social withdrawal and improve eye contact, language development and reduce sound sensitivity.
