Therapy is designed to reinforce and strengthen skills. That can address areas such as receptive language ,expressive language, socialization, and motor development. There are many reasons why music therapy is effective in children’s treatment. Rhythms of sound have a powerful impact on cognition. Music is processed by a different area of the brain than speech and language; therefore, a child may be able to more easily absorb information and skills presented with music. Memorizing songs and rhymes is helpful in developing literacy skills. The rhythm and repetition in songs can help the student internalize the sounds and patterns of language. Music is motivating and fun, which is useful when working with a child who demonstrates low motivation to learn. Music enhances attending skills and reduces distraction. An important thing to keep in mind is that music services are provided according to demonstrated educational need.
