Music Therapy at Baby Steps

Music therapy is a clinical, evidence-based allied health profession that uses music to support children’s development across communication, motor skills, emotional regulation, and social connection. It is a structured, goal-oriented therapy delivered by a qualified registered music therapist, and is particularly valuable for children with developmental delays or sensory and emotional needs.

A Music Therapist can assist with:

Developmental delays

Sensory processing issues

Fine and gross motor skill delays

Reduced attention and concentration

Reduced communication, articulation and vocabulary

Learning and socialising delays

Anxiety and stress

Emotional regulation issues

Autism

Attention Deficit Disorder

Supporting Regulation and Engagement

Music therapy offers a multi-sensory and relational approach, which can be especially helpful for children who may be overwhelmed or disengaged in other therapeutic settings. It creates a warm and responsive space in which children feel safe to explore, interact, and grow.

Music as a universal language

Music therapy is an inclusive and adaptable practice, making it accessible to individuals of all abilities. It has the ability to transcend language barriers and allows for communication through the medium of musical play.

More than sound

Music therapy is unique because it stimulates multiple senses and enhances learning by engaging more of the brain. It utilises tactile, auditory and visual senses to increase opportunities for learning and growth.
