Special Needs

We have been extremely happy with his therapy so far. She is leaps and bounds above anything we have ever had before. Thank you so much.

I want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We are truly blessed by your gift. The music therapy [my daughter] received was hands down the most positive, empowering and effective influence she has ever had in treating her anxiety. It has changed both of our lives for the best forever!

The work Cassie did for her was miraculous.  [My daughter] loves her her for getting her out of her comfort zone. She actually sang a duet at a school concert one week ago! She never could have done it without Cassie…never.

She really is a different kid in such a short time. She never really had friends but now…she went every day this last week and cried today because she will miss so many friends. It is absolutely miraculous!

My son who has speech Apraxia was not speaking any words at 3 1/2 years old. The best treatment for this condition is repetition and intensive speech therapy. My son had no speech, a very difficult temperament and behavioral problems. He had been in early intervention, early preschool and individual speech, but he was not making progress. During the summer I decided to have him do music therapy with his friend who had similar speech and developmental delays. I was hopeful that music therapy would open his mind in a new way to help his language progress.

Immediately after beginning music therapy I noticed a change in my son. He started music therapy in June and by the beginning of September he was speaking words that I could understand. From June 2017 to February 2018, my son went from having no speech to now speaking full sentences that are understandable. He is now happy and does not have behavioral problems. I have been so thrilled with his teachers and his progress from music therapy, and while I know that my son was involved in other therapies and interventions, it wasn’t until he started music therapy that began making progress and I noticed his behavioral changes. I’m so happy we chose to utilize this amazing resource.

I contribute music therapy to have impacted my son’s growth cognitively, speech, and socially.  He is able to do higher level thinking tasks (ex. puzzles).  He is more verbal and although he doesn’t perform signs by himself he does understand them when shown to him.  Music therapy has given him other peers to watch and learn alongside with who have become friends.  I am so thankful for the opportunity to have access to this resource.

“We are so fortunate to have found Harmony Music Therapy for our six year old son, Max. After a detailed assessment of Max’s interests and needs, his team put together a wonderful program for him where he learns, listens, participates and reaches set goals. Coupled with his other therapies, we find music therapy to be a vital and necessary part of meeting Max’s sensory needs and his overall love of music. We adore his therapists, they’re personable, professional and fill our home with wonderful music and singing. We are incredibly grateful to Jaycie and her amazing therapists!”

Our experience with Harmony Music Therapy has exceeded expectations! Surprisingly, he is 4 years old, Autistic and cannot stay engaged longer than 2 minutes with any activity. However, his 30 minute session/weekly, is engaged from start until the end. He didn’t waste anytime to participate either! I am understanding my child’s world through music. Every week, he becomes more engaged and I see something new from him. Music encourages learning, motivation and achieving milestones in development! Thank you!!!

One of the best part of my week is listening to Cassie and my daughter working in the living room.  My daughter loves the singing and using the different instruments that Cassie brings.  She doesn’t even realize that she is working.  She also enjoys bringing the little bag of instrument that she has chosen to the lesson.

They have done so much for my son and have taught me how to care for him and teach him new things. They have had a lot of patience for my son and have taught me to be persistent with him. I have learned a lot since he is my first child and there is a lot I don’t know. Thank you for having programs like these!
