My son has autism. It was diagnosed later than usual as his diagnosis was not “typical”. Once we got the diagnosis which was a relief but also just opening another door of the unknown we noticed he had a love for piano. I immediately found Anderson music therapy as way that he can channel his creativity and calm him in high stress situations. Music has always been something he enjoys and since going to Andersons and getting music therapy he has made leaps and bounds with his frustration intolerance and other struggles he has faced. Recognizing this type of therapy with licensure would insure the right people are in the positions to help those who truly need the help.
