Who knew acorns could be so smart? 🐿️✨

Inside each tiny acorn is a surprise object that matches the letter on the outside—perfect for practicing letter recognition, beginning sounds, and fine motor strength!

Activities like this keep sessions hands-on, playful, and meaningful as our clients build confidence one little acorn at a time. 🍂📚

We had the best day at the with Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee. This is one of our favorite events each year and we were thrilled to see so many clients and friends stop by the booth. 💙💛

Even more special this year, we were showing off the new drums Vanderbilt University Hands-On Play Lab gave us to use in our joint research study. If you know someone between the ages of 7-12 with Down syndrome, please reach out to get registered for this exciting study which includes free drum lessons with us in Hendersonville or Brentwood!

The weather may be unpredictable, but her progress isn’t! ☀️🧥

Meet one of our amazing scholarship recipients! 🌟
In this session, she’s working on an important daily living skill, choosing the right clothing for the weather. As the seasons shift between warm and chilly days, she’s learning to recognize when it’s time for short sleeves or a cozy jacket!

We’re so proud of her progress and grateful to provide these opportunities through our scholarship program and music therapy services. 🎶💛

💙 Continuing our Down Syndrome Awareness Month Celebration! 💙

This week, we’re shining a spotlight on our amazing Embrace group — a community program that we provide services for, which is full of music, laughter, and connection! 🎶✨

Each week in music therapy, these incredible individuals come together to build confidence and connection through rhythm, song, and movement. While the sessions are full of smiles and dancing, they’re also hard at work practicing important social and communication skills, including:

🤝 Teamwork
🗣️ Expressing ideas through music and conversation
🎵 Listening and responding to others
💃 Coordinating movement in group activities

We’re incredibly proud of the joy and community this group brings each week to Embrace!

🎃 Halloween Intervention Spotlight! 🎃

This week’s fall-themed Social Saturdays session takes us on a musical hayride! 🍂

Our teen and young adult social group joined together using a stretchy band to “ride” through the song, imagining all the sights they see along the way! 🚜🎶 Using visual supports, each participant shared what they spotted on the hayride!

During this session, group members are:

🤝 Building social connection – sharing ideas and listening to each other
🗣️ Practicing communication skills – responding to questions and making choices with visual supports
🧠 Strengthening memory and attention – recalling what peers shared
🎵 Engaging in group music-making – moving and singing together in rhythm
😊 Fostering inclusion and teamwork – supporting one another through shared play

We love seeing how music therapy helps our clients connect, communicate, and celebrate the season together! 🍁🎃

We’re continuing our Down Syndrome Awareness Month celebration by spotlighting another amazing client and her incredible progress in therapy! 💙

Our friend is hard at work popping bubbles — but there’s a lot more happening than meets the eye! 🎈✨

She is working on:
🫰 Pincer grasp & fine motor control
👀 Eye tracking & visual attention
🤝 Hand-over-hand support with Mom
🎶 Coordinated movement through music

By using castanets to pop the bubbles, she’s practicing precise finger movements while also strengthening her ability to follow fast-moving objects, all with the encouragement and guidance of her biggest cheerleader, her mom. 💪💕

It’s joyful, skill-building play at its best, and we’re so proud of the progress she’s making each week. Stay tuned for more moments of growth and celebration next Monday!

There's nothing better than connecting with the community! 😊 We had a fantastic time at the Fall Festival on Thursday. It was so rewarding to see all the kids enjoying the instrument petting zoo and making some music! We always look forward to events like this—it's the perfect chance to meet new families and strengthen our ties with existing friends and community providers.

If you'd like additional information on any of the services we provide, please reach out!

🎃 Halloween Intervention Spotlight! 🎃
This week’s spooky session features the classic song “Them Dry Bones” with a fun, adaptive twist! 🦴🎶

One of our adult clients is working on body part identification while engaging in a creative, music-based intervention that supports communication, motor skills, and self-expression.

During this session, the client is:
🧠 Identifying body parts – pointing as the song lyrics cue each one
👂 Following auditory cues – engaging with musical and spoken directions
📱 Using AAC – supporting communication with his device
🗣️ Requesting “more” – verbally expressing his desire to continue
🎤 Taking ownership – playing guitar during the chorus
💪 Building motor coordination – moving along with each part of the song

We love seeing how music can spark joy, creativity, and progress in such a personalized way! Stay tuned for more Halloween fun all October! 👻🎃🕸️
