LifeLinks Family Support will be offering music therapy classes
for children with special needs and their families!
A Board Certified Music Therapist from Roman
Music Therapy Services, LLC will be conducting music
therapy groups on Mondays in the fall for children ages 3-12 years old.
Siblings are welcome to attend; parents are required to stay. The program
will use the fun and motivation of music to address social, behavioral, and
sensory goals. Children will be singing, playing a variety of instruments, and
moving to the music!
Roman Music Therapy Services will hold an informative Open House on Wednesday, August 8
from 6:00 - 7:15PM. This free session will include 30 minutes
of music for kids with special needs ages 3-12 (and their siblings!) and
30 minutes for questions.
