Approach

Every individual is unique and possesses a wide spectrum of interests, strengths, challenges, and capacities. MusicWorx’s San Diego staff have certification in not only Neurologic Music Therapy, but also DIR®/Floortime™, an empowering, relationship-based framework informed by neuroscience.

DIR®/FLOORTIME™

DIR®/FLOORTIME™ is used across one’s lifespan with individuals with challenges or those undiagnosed. MusicWorx is the only agency in San Diego trained to provide this humanistic and neurodevelopmental treatment approach!
