Art and Music Therapy

Research shows effective art and music therapy yields maximum results and has been used extensively to enhance individual development and growth. This type of therapy has been shown to help children with special needs. Art and music positively affect the mood, cognition, and behavior of children with varying disabilities, and those with autism, speech impairments, ADD/ADHD, or other mental and behavioral health conditions. The therapy helps children to effectively communicate, improves their concentration levels and behaviours, and helps develop closer relationships. Art and Music are commonly used tools for both teachers and learners in inclusive classrooms as those facilitate inclusion of students with disabilities. Today's educators are resorting to this powerful tool of art and music therapy to make learning effective and helping children flourish cognitively and developmentally. If you are part of the teaching profession or handling special children then you must join our webinar on Art and Music Therapy.

It is a good experience working with ACT. I've already done 2 courses. They're very cordial in all the aspects. They guide us in a roper way and the materials are also too good. They provide the self-study material in a very simple language so that it is easy to understand. And the online courses are also helpful and very productive for us so that we can take time and finish it whenever we want to.
