NEUROLOGIC MUSIC THERAPY SERVICES OF ARIZONA
Neurologic Music Therapy Services of Arizona’s (NMTSA) vision is to unleash the unique potential of individuals with disabilities. NMTSA has provided services to persons with neurologic impairments/differences (ages 18 months to 90+ years of age) and their families in the greater Phoenix area since 1982.
OUR APPROACH
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT)® is a research-based treatment system that uses music and rhythm to change the way the brain functions. While each person with autism is unique and treatment is individualized, there are some common techniques.
For example, movement paired with rhythm can help develop new sensory and motor brain connections, which improves body awareness and motor control, as well as eliminating nonfunctional motor behaviors. Singing, instrument playing, and other verbal/vocal exercises are often used to develop speech, language, and communication skills.
By addressing autism at the brain level, NMT can positively affect the skills and abilities a person with autism needs to be independent, to meaningfully relate to others, and to truly demonstrate their competence.
