We recently partnered with Creative Therapy Adelaide (CTA) to bring Music Therapy to our clients.

Through CTA's outreach program, University of Melbourne Masters student, Ben, spent last term conducting some of his placement hours with us here at our PPA learning centre.

Music Therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession in which music is used to actively support people as they aim to improve their health, functioning and wellbeing. It can help those on the spectrum develop their capacity for communication, social interaction, self-regulation and interoceptive abilities.

We are loving watching Ben engage with our clients and seeing the joy that music brings 🎹🎤🎵🥁
