Heartsong
A Good Idea
Description
Heartsong’s mission is to provide children with special needs and their families with clinically-based music and art therapy programs that aim to enhance functioning level and quality of life.
Before children can attend any classes each child is assessed and placed in a music and/or art group that is best suited to his or her needs. Art and music therapy are taught by professional therapists and community volunteers.
