Providing best-practice services and training across Western Sydney
AN ALLIED HEALTH SERVICE FOR DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILTY , NEUROLOGICAL IMPAIRMENT & TRAUMA
What is Neurologic Music Therapy?
Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT)® is an evidence-based allied-health profession which uses the properties of music to positively impact neurological function.
Neurologic Music Therapists are specialists in using auditory stimuli to support the development or rehabilitation of cognitive, communication and sensorimotor skills. In this way, we have been able to support kids and adults with sensory, attention, speech & language and movement challenges to live a more optimised and organised life.
The NMT Academy is recognised by the World Foundation For Neurorehabilitation (WFNR) and has been grandted institutional membership.
Who can benefit from Neurologic Music Therapy?
If you have a brain, you can benefit from NMT! Music optimises human function on a neurological level, which means the potential for growth from NMT are varied and widespread. However, we specialise in working with children and adults who are neurodivergent (Austism or ADHD), have acquired brain injuries or histories of trauma.
The most common challenges we help our clients with are:
​
-
Out-of-control bodies: overactive, hyperactive, disorganised and uncoordinated movements are often the underlying cause for many other social, cognitive, education and regulation difficulties
​
-
Sleep: believe it or not, if you or your child has trouble getting to sleep or staying asleep, we can help! We have helped many clients sleep with a personalised metronome home-program.
​
-
Cognition and communication: Music has a unique and profound impact on attention, memory, executive function, speech and language.
​
Home programs and parent training
We also believe that the greatest potential for growth happens when the whole family is informed and equipped to support their loved one. Our passion is helping parents to understand their kids' bodies and brains, and what that means for their behaviour and day-to-day life.
We love developing training and resources specifically for parents, with an ever-growing library of support articles and videos.
​
Our unique clinical knowledge also enables us to prescribe supports and exercises you can do at home. We train many clients and parents in how to use tools like a metronome, so you can take the benefits of NMT into your daily life - even if you have no musical background or training!
