The special needs ministry at Highlands Church is thrilled to announce our new (FREE!) Music Therapy program starting October 14th.
Come join us for a fun afternoon of music making, great sensory input, and fun. Kids with special needs, ages 2 to 11, will get an opportunity to play instruments and interact with peers, and parents will learn techniques to provide sensory support at home. Skills addressed through neurologic music therapy include communication, motor, and socialization all while maintaining a safe and fun group environment. (parent or caregiver will need to stay with their child)
Jenna Anderson is a Board Certified Music Therapist. She has worked as a neurologic music therapist in the Valley for seven years. Currently, Jenna is the owner of Therapy Foundations, serving individuals with neurologic impairments and providing support to their families.
The session will run from 4:15-5:00pm and will meet twice a month. Reservations will be required. E-mail Missy Farrington with any questions or to make your reservation, missyf@highlandschurch.org.
For our teens and adults, Get fit with our Special Needs ministry’s Zumba class twice a month on Friday at 4:00- 4:45pm in the Rockhouse. This Zumba class is a calorie-burning dance fitness-party that is adapted to create a slower pace, but still with all the fitness benefits and in a safe, fun and loving community. The next Zumba class will be October 14th.
