One mom says…
“My young adult has consistently asked for music. RMTS has provided years of music therapy to my son with Autism. It can be challenging to find the right kind of activity for people with Autism and typical young adults as well. Music has opened his world in so many ways by improving his communication skills, sense of community and providing pure joy.“
