ITA Featured on NBC 5’s Making A Difference

October 11, 2017 by ITA Staff

Take a look at ITA’s feature story on NBC 5’s Making a Difference segment with Christian Farr. Julian has been receiving therapy from ITA for the past 15 years. In this video, Jeffrey Wolfe, MA, MT-BC, demonstrates an attention exercise using the drums frequently used in Julian’s music therapy sessions. As someone who copes with Williams Syndrome, music therapy has helped Julian build better social skills, attention, and communication.

The approach demonstrated in this video is only one of the many methods ITA therapists use when working with children and adolescents. Creative Arts Therapies are an option beyond traditional talk therapy and can support a wide range of clients.  Click here to learn more about our Individual and Group services, or call our Intake line at 847-425-9708 x 590 to set up an appointment.
