Charleston Music Therapy, LLC

Our music therapy program with Charleston Music Therapy, LLC is hitting all the right notes!

Each session takes students on a journey—starting with regulation work (like breathing exercises set to song), moving into sensory experiences with scarves or drums for tactile and auditory input, and gradually building toward attention and cognition. From there, our music therapist, Rebecca, gets everyone moving with shared music experiences featuring egg shakers or dance.

Rebecca describes music therapy at Pattison’s Academy as connection, communication, and autonomy: “Music organically regulates, stretches attention, and allows for each student to essentially gain a voice. It is a pleasure to work with so many in-tune teachers and therapists at Pattison's."

Three cheers for co-treating and singing with AAC devices!

Music therapy creates moments of joy and connection for all ages and abilities.

‘Tis the season to learn about gratitude! We love listening to “Thankful” by Juicebox Jukebox and naming what we’re grateful for. This song also incorporates vocabulary words like thankful, grateful, appreciate, compassionate and generous. A great way to spark wonderful Thanksgiving conversations with children.

It’s Shy Little Monster season! Our FAVORITE Halloween book!

We are so fortunate to work with individuals of all ages. Music therapy is such a quality of life booster, but we are the lucky ones- sitting down for 45 minutes with truly incredible individuals who have lived long and full lives with so much left to share!

Co-treating with other amazing therapists is our FAVORITE! Thank you to Heather, Occupational Therapist, for this incredible testimonial!
