Music Therapy for Children in Bogotá, Colombia

What is music therapy for children used for?

It supports children with autism, ADHD, speech delays, motor difficulties, anxiety or trouble managing emotions. It also helps children in hospital or going through difficult situations, such as grief.

What is a session like?

It works through musical play: songs, instruments, rhythm and movement adapted to the child's age. Each activity has a specific goal, such as improving attention, communication or interaction with others. Parents can join some sessions.
