Project Title: Music Therapy Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Children\u2019s Resources would like to provide Music Therapy one time per week for 30 minutes in each grade level Pre-Kindergarten (children ages 2 to 4 years) through fifth grade, for a total of 9 classrooms. The goal of this project is to address delays that are exhibited by our special needs students. Specific goals will include, increasing communication, improving academics\/development, motor and social skills. Additionally, maladaptive behaviors and emotional concerns can be targeted.
\nThe American Music Therapy Association, sites various research and evidence based support to provide Music Therapy for children with special needs. They state, \u201cconnections between speech and signing, rhythm and motor behavior, memory for song and memory for academic material, and overall ability of preferred music to enhance mood, attention and behavior to optimize the students\u2019 ability to learn and interact.\u201d Standley, (1996) noted the positive effects of Music Therapy and learning among children diagnosed with special needs. Also, in his review of the literature it was determined that music could be used as a reinforcer for these children to accomplish their educational and therapeutic goals.
\nChildren\u2019s Resources serves 90 children and their families daily. 50% of those children are of Hispanic descent, 30% are Caucasian, 15% are African American and 5% are Asian or Pacific Islanders. 85% of the students have been formally diagnosed with a developmental delay or mental health disorder.<\/p>\n
This project will be for the 2019-2020 school year (10 months). It is expected that providing music therapy will assist in improving our student\u2019s assessment scores in each area of their development based on the Battelle Developmental Inventory in the pre-school classes and the NWEA Maps assessment in the elementary classrooms along with a Music Therapy assessment that target goals established in Individual Education Plans.\n<\/p>\n
