How to obtain Music Therapy Services For children under the age of three that are ALTA California Regional Center clients: Contact your Service Coordinator and request a Music Therapy assessment stating reasons you may think it would assist your child in improving his or her skills. The Service Coordinator will make a referral to a vendor for Music Therapy services. ALTA vendors with several Music Therapy agencies in the area, however, requests can be made for specific vendors. Some Music Therapy vendors are strictly clinic based, others are strictly home based. Music To Grow On provides both clinic and home based services. The waiting list for clinic based services moves a little faster than home based. For school age children: Contact your Program Specialist via phone and in writing requesting a Music Therapy assessment to explore if Music Therapy would aid in meeting the needs of your child. Give specifics as to why you believe it would benefit your child. The school district will make a referral to a Music Therapy agency to complete the assessment. Families are not allowed to request a specific vendor, this is the decision of the school districts. After an assessment is completed, an addendum IEP will have to completed to discuss the findings of the assessment before ongoing services can commence. Not all school districts support Music Therapy services, but Music To Grow On can work with you to pursue services. Music To Grow On is a certified Non-Public Agency through the State of California to work in any of the local school districts. If you would like to obtain services privately: Contact Music To Grow On and we will be more than happy to assist you in getting scheduled for services. At times, there is a waiting list, but we try to get clients in as quickly as possible. When contacting us, please give us as much information about your child and the issues he or she faces. This will allow us to find the correct therapist match. Please make sure to leave us your contact information including email, phone, and address.
