Adult Dayhabs, CBDS, and Disability Service Organizations

Everyone deserves to live a life they find fulfilling and have the opportunity to make meaningful connections with others. We help adults with disabilities express themselves, connect with peers, learn new skills and improve their social emotional health.

Music Therapy and Wellness Programs that are:

Accessible

We value ALL forms of communication and provide opportunities for everyone to express themselves. All activities are adapted, so everyone can successfully participate. Best of all, there is no special talent or previous experience needed to benefit from our programs!

Creative

We are not here to perform. We are here to engage participants in the creative process, so everyone can improve their own wellbeing. Participating in active music making, listening, and other creative endeavors has numerous therapeutic and health benefits.

Goal-Oriented

Our programs are not only fun and engaging, they are thoughtfully planned to meet the needs and identified goals of the participants in front of us. We help clients improve communication, motor, social, and emotional regulation skills through varied music & arts experiences.

Service Options Include:

Ongoing Services

For groups or individuals. Our most effective option for working on targeted goals.

Ongoing music therapy services are the most effective way to work on targeted goals in a supportive and creative environment. Groups and individuals will participate in a variety of music and creative arts experiences over time that may include:

Music and experiences will be chosen based on the identified goals, interests, and needs of the individuals participating.

Accessibility

Adaptive instruments, visuals, and other materials will be provided when needed. We will adapt activities to meet the communication needs of those participating.

Professional Development & Staff Wellness

Equip your staff with tools to navigate burn out/stress and gain strategies to help improve the social emotional health of the adults they support.

We know your staff are passionate about what they do. We also know that working in any helping profession can be overwhelming at times, leading to burnout and stress.

Our staff wellness programs equip staff with the knowledge, resources, and tools to improve their own personal wellness and address symptoms of burnout and stress.

Our professional development offerings give your staff strategies and tools to help the adults they support each day express themselves, feel a part of a community, and make meaningful connections with their peers.

Programs available include:

Community Building Arts-Based Strategies for Day Habs, CBDS, and Vocational Programs
Music and Wellness for Helping Professionals
