What We Do

Our approach

 
Voices Together has developed a unique approach and methodology using the group process of a choral structure and interactive songs to increase and develop speech, communication and social interaction skills in individuals with developmental disabilities.

The ages of participants and groups range from seven-years-old (our Little Voices program), to 65 years old (adult groups). 

Each group of nine individuals is lead by either two board-certified music therapists and/or one board certified music therapist and one music educator.  The one-hour-a-week session weaves music, communication and social skills training together in a seamless and highly motivating program targeting not only the goal of the group as a whole but individual goals as well. 

Because each individual has his or her own strengths and weaknesses, the chorus is kept at this 4-to-1 ratio to give the therapists the opportunity to address each individual’s challenges.
