(Havertown, PA) September 30, 2010 – MusicWorks, a nonprofit music therapy service provider for individuals with challenges, was honored yesterday by the Delaware County Office of Behavioral Health and Magellan Behavioral Health at the first annual Delaware County Provider Recognition Event. MusicWorks received the Star of Excellence Most Innovative Children’s Program Award in Recognition of Outstanding Service & Dedication to Promoting Recovery & Resiliency.
Executive Director, Lori O’Leary was thrilled and humbled to accept this award on behalf of MusicWorks. Lori said, “For the past 8 years, our primary goal has been to provide music therapy services to restore, improve and maintain the quality of life of all individuals throughout the Delaware Valley who are challenged by autism, special needs, illness or aging. Through music therapy, we have made huge strides in helping children on the autism spectrum. Watching these children learn, grow, make friends and develop their own talents has been amazing.”
MusicWorks facilitates small group music therapy sessions for children and young adults with autism spectrum disorders, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and other special needs. Through music, their Board Certified Music Therapists work on learning and communication, fine and gross motor skills, focus and attention, and socialization within the group.
MusicWorks looks forward to continuing the partnerships with all of the fine organizations, people, families and children who help to make MusicWorks the premier music therapy service provider.
