Horse Drum Therapies provides services for individuals with neurologic and brain-body diagnoses through Neurologic Music Therapy® (NMT®).

​

Treatment focuses on improving communication, sensorimotor, and cognitive functioning through evidence-based rhythmic and music-based interventions. Using musical instruments and functional music exercises, NMT® engages neural networks involved in movement, communication, attention, and cognition. These interventions support the development and improvement of skills that transfer to everyday activities and promote greater independence in daily living.

​

Extensive research supports the use of NMT® to enhance motor planning and coordination, including for individuals with autism and body apraxia. At Horse Drum Therapies, NMT® is used to facilitate neural retraining and harness neuroplasticity, supporting meaningful improvements in sensorimotor, communication, and cognitive functioning.

​

Through individualized, rhythm-based interventions, clients work toward goals that are most meaningful to their daily lives. For some, this may include improving motor control and coordination; for others, it may involve developing functional communication skills through music. We partner with each client to establish realistic starting goals and build progressively toward long-term outcomes at a pace that supports success and lasting change.
