Group Music Therapy

Important and an integral specialized therapy of the weekly package at UMAP is group music therapy. Communication goals are supported in this environment. Music can stimulate verbal expression and can assist our clients to communicate better.

Under the direction of a certified music therapist, clients learn new ways to express themselves. Many clients discover latent musical talents. Some clients also relearn to play their favorite musical instrument or musical tunes from their past. At the end of each session we are treated to a musical performance that is guaranteed to lift spirits.
