Music Therapy

Music Therapy has proven to be very effective in the stimulation of growth in the areas of communication, motor skills, self-expression, social skills and cognitive skills. Music helps maintain attention, assists in retention of skills, provides stimulation, relaxation, and is a natural reinforcement for desired responses.

United Cerebral Palsy of Southern Arizona regretfully, had to end it's Music Therapy program, due to state budget cuts. We will miss this wonderful program and hope that in the future, state legislature will see the need to fund it again.
