Music Therapy at Michigan State University

 

   Caring About Kids helped another young child on my caseload.  Sally* is develop-mentally delayed and has been diagnosed Autistically Impaired. Sally is delayed in her speech and needed assistance communicating.  Music Therapy was recommended.  Caring About Kids provided the money for Sally to attend music therapy at Michigan State University. Sally has benefited greatly from the services. She has learned to imitate sounds with 100% articulation and has used 2-3 word phrases to request an instrument or song.  Music Therapy has also helped increase her self-esteem as she has learned how to express herself and get recognition of her needs and wants.

* All names have been changed to protect the identity of our children.
