Brainwave supports children with disabilities and Developmental Delay with the aim of giving each child a better quality of life, greater independence and the opportunity to reach developmental milestone. The children we work with have a range of conditions including autism, cerebral palsy and Down’s syndrome. After a 2 day initial assessment our therapy team designs an appropriate therapy exercise Programme to be carried out at home on a daily basis. Equipment is provided to each family as required together with a DVD of the Programme. Families return for reassessment every four to six months which enables us to review their progress and to adjust the Programme as necessary.
MUSIC THERAPY
Music Therapy is generally suitable for everyone but has shown to be of benefit to people with learning, physical or sensory disabilities, neurological conditions and speech and language impairments, including autism.
The benefits of Music Therapy are as varied as the people who use it. Music is a social activity involving communication, sharing and listening. As a result, children may develop a greater awareness of themselves in relation to others, increasing their confidence and self-esteem. Music is also a great motivator and involvement in music making can assist physical awareness and develop attention, memory and concentration skills.
