How Music Therapy is Used
The brain responds differently to music, which helps with rehabilitation. A board-certified music therapist works with people who have different needs to help them achieve rehabilitation in critical areas related to cognitive, motor, communication, social, and emotional needs through songwriting, musical improvisation, lyric discussion, and recreating well-known songs. Clients do NOT need to be musicians.
