Project Description
With support from the California Arts Council, Maya’s Music Therapy Fund will provide weekly music therapy sessions to youth with developmental disabilities at two East Bay after-school program sites. Through music therapy sessions and performing at our Spring Music Festival, students will gain new musical, cognitive, and social skills.
Organization Summary
Maya’s Music Therapy Fund’s board certified music therapists work with people with disabilities such as autism, cerebral palsy, Down’s syndrome, brain injury, hearing and vision impairment, ADHD, Rett syndrome, and other developmental disabilities. Experiencing the unique power of music to engage our brains and our bodies, clients gain physical and social skills while building self-esteem and confidence during individual and group music therapy sessions. MMTF also collaborates with agencies and existing programs that serve people with disabilities from Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco Counties in Northern California.
Our main programs are:
– Individual music therapy sessions
– Group music therapy sessions
– Our annual Maya’s Spring Music Festival where participants perform and celebrate their talents with an audience of supportive friends and family
