Benefits of Music Therapy for Children With Learning Disabilities

Music therapy is not for every child with a learning disability as some children may be very sensitive to sounds and vibrations. They may react badly so the therapy may need to be modified to be more low-key and quieter for children with some sensory processing disorders. Music can also be incorporated into sensory breaks for children and adapted to meet their needs.


The therapist normally plays piano or guitar in the background and the children are instructed to do free play with the instruments he or she provides. The therapist will also instruct them how to use the instruments as a group, taking different subgroups at a time playing together and then collectively as a larger group playing together as a form of therapy.


Using music therapy, children will get to use parts of their brain that they may not normally use, their mood will be enhanced and they will get effective stress relief so they will be better able to cope with the challenges life throws at them. Thanks to visit my blogs now.
