Milestone Music Therapy exists to empower children in setting and achieving developmental and neurological goals. All of our staff are passionate about being a musician and using that to help others get the most out of life. The majority of children who we work with have some form of neurological impairment (either from brain injury or developmental disability) or chronic health condition. We also provide early childhood music experiences. A board certified music therapist will assess the strengths and needs of each client and then provide the needed treatment including creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Through musical involvement in the therapeutic context, client’s abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Our music therapists use music interventions designed to facilitate changes that are non-musical in nature. We implement services with individuals and/or groups. Services are provided in individual's homes, group homes, health care facilities, schools, preschools, childcare agencies, and/or our music therapy clinic.
