What's the enrollment process?
The first step is to complete an intake form. Once received, we will contact you to notify you of your placement status. When we have availability and a music therapist has been identified, we will schedule an assessment. At that time, we will request additional financial aid forms or other related reports, such as an IEP, if needed.
Music therapy is expensive. We need help affording it.
Income-based Financial Aid and other funding awards are available to all qualified applicants. We are available to advise and assist you in gaining information and support to finance music therapy services.
Do you take medical insurance?
No, we do not bill insurance directly. We are happy to provide you with a detailed receipt that you can work together with your insurance company to seek reimbursement.
Do you take any 3rd party reimbursement?
Yes we do! We have a great deal of experience in working with third parties for support of music therapy services. We can provide assistance for individuals and families who wish to apply for third party funding (e.g. Autism Scholarship, various County Boards of Developmental Disabilities, foundations, trusts or other sources of income).
