Music therapy is an evidence-based allied health profession, which means the techniques used are founded in clinical studies and research. Music therapy can activate neurological physiological and psychological pathways that help people achieve change. Because music is motivating, familiar and fun, many children (including neuro-diverse children with ASD and ADHD) with challenges such as speech delays, social and emotional regulation concerns often benefit from using music therapeutically to enhance their development in these areas.

Currently, NDIS supports music therapy services, and funding may be available to individuals seeking support when accessing music therapy. Although everyone will respond differently, music therapy has been found to make a real difference for people experiencing a range of difficulties from many backgrounds.
