Music Therapy provides a form of expression and an avenue to develop areas that traditional therapies or learning may not provide for individuals. Back Mountain Music Therapy is a client-led, Developmental-Relationship based Therapy that cultivates attention, self-regulation, engagement, and communication through relating in a safe, predictable environment.
Back Mountain Music Therapy drives relational experience through musical play to aid in further developing core emotional milestones necessary for expanding higher levels of thought in order to help clients increase their abilities to relax, regulate, engage, express, communicate and relate.
Back Mountain Music Therapy “Focus and Attention Groups” Who are these for?
These groups are for otherwise fairly typically developing children who are exhibiting issues with distractibility, inattentiveness, fidgeting etc.
Why is this group Unique in it's approach?
BMMT sees kids with attention issues, not as having behavior issues, but kids that have a little trouble with their nervous system. Attention is an active and a changing process. It involves taking in information, sights, sounds, and touch. Then processing that information to lastly solve a problem with planning and sequencing. Back Mountain Music Therapy attention and focus groups, (currently, ages 3-7 ) targets areas such as:
1) Strengthening Motor Functioning and the ability to utilize the nervous system.
2) Planning, Supporting and Sequencing actions and thinking abilities
3) Modulating responses to sensations
4) Building Confidence
5) Building Healthy Environments
This is all done through active, fun, musical play. No prior musical experience needed, just a desire to play and have fun! The wonderful thing about these therapeutic camps, is that the focused on is the play, the music and the relationships in the group.
The groups will begin on Monday, June 21, followed by June 28, July 5, July 12 and July 26. Each group will be scheduled for 45 minutes between the hours of 9-4.
