How Does Music Therapy at ITA Help?

Rhythm and melody facilitate brain plasticity by activating healthy brain regions and recruiting new neural pathways.  In this way, music helps support maintenance of cognitive functioning.  Other benefits include: enhanced volume and clarity, improved social communication, and improved word-finding skills to name a few.

How do I sign up?

Be a part of the ITA community and contact Dr. Marni Rosen at mrosen@itachicago.org, or 847-448-8336.
