News: Milestones in Music Certified for Autism Movement Therapy

Milestones in Music moved to a new studio in Pennsylvania, and they have been certified for Autism Movement Therapy. Judy Jones, owner of Milestones in Music, says “Music and movement is a program that helps develop children and their entire bodies: their cognitive, their physical and their emotional and social skills.” Jones believes that a steady beat is the foundation for movement, walking, even dribbling a basketball. Movement for Music believes that music helps with muscle coordination and brain stimulation; they provide instruments to help with motor skills. Children start as early as 3 months old and once they reach age 4, they begin to learn to read music and identify notes. In addition to the music and movement programs, the facility serves 1,200 kids a week in a daycare setting.
