Does it actually work?
Yes! Speech Pathology and Telehealth music therapy sessions are done in the comfort of your own home. Your goals can still be achieved through activities online and providing families with skills and resources. For music therapy, You do not need instruments; all you need is participation. It is encouraged that carers remain for the session and facilitate modelling, engagement and participation.
What happens if my child does not engage over the screen?
That’s fine! This is a great opportunity for the therapist to provide parent coaching that is useful (and essential) to carry over in their natural environment. We can support with:
- Providing strategies on how to use language and music at home
- How to make music and singing part of your everyday routine
- Support with education about how we can use music at home to achieve positive outcomes at home
-teach and model songs so the family can use the songs at home
-discuss development and how musical activities can be used to further improve skills
Although our practice is in Crows Nest NSW, anyone can access our services online.
