This music therapy group provides a supportive space where children can express themselves, explore their creativity, and connect with others through music. Children will have the opportunity to engage in activities such as instrument play, singing, movement, sensory play, and more. In this 1 hour music group, we will work towards goals such as regulation, self-expression, peer interaction, identifying/expressing emotions, impulse control, and more!

No musical experience required- just a desire to freely express yourself and have fun in a collaborative, welcoming space!
