1:The understanding of music's role and function in therapy and medicine is undergoing a rapid transformation, based on neuroscientific research showing the reciprocal relationship between studying the neurobiological foundations of music in the brain and how musical behavior through learning and experience changes brain and behavior function. Through this research the theory and clinical practice of music therapy is changing more and more from a social science model, based on cultural roles and general well-being concepts, to a neuroscience-guided model based on brain function and music perception. This paradigm shift has the potential to move music therapy from an adjunct modality to a central treatment modality in rehabilitation and therapy

Music is usually soothing and calming to children, especially ones with ADHD. Calmed children with ADHD are able to focus and pay attention better. Therefore, music therapy is a fun, natural and healthy alternative for parents. In addition, it is a wonderful opportunity for children to express themselves. Therapy can be done one-on-one or in small groups. Parents can locate a music therapist in their area by emailing The American Music Therapy Association at findMT@musictherapy.org.

No. Music therapy and physical therapy are two separate disciplines. Music therapists and physical therapists may co-treat, however. And music therapy may address motor skills. But the two disciplines have completely different education and clinical training experience. For more information, try the American Music Therapy Association and the American Physical Therapy Association.
