What is Music Therapy?

Become a Music Therapy Peer Model

The Music Settlement's Department of Music Therapy systematically and prescriptively uses music-based interventions to impact the lives of children and adults facing a wide range of life's challenges. We also integrate our services with other departments and offerings. We help people with special needs, or those at-risk for special needs, reach individualized goals and improve their quality of life. We incorporate "typically developing" children, teens and adults within our individual, partner or group sessions for the purpose of providing excellent role models for social, speech, language, and other skills. these participants are referred to as "peer models."
