Board Certified Music Therapist

Foundations is a neuro-affirming, competence-based program at Toneworks for adults whose regulation, sensory, and support needs mean a busy group setting isn't the right fit yet. As a Board-Certified Music Therapist, you'll lead small, individualized groups where each person builds the skills to take part alongside their peers 'll work with speech, art, and recreation therapists, and you'll help shape the program as it grows.

• Participants feel safe, known, and regulated enough to engage, and their goals reflect what matters to them.
• Foundations runs on a curriculum you helped build, with tools other staff can use.
• Program staff feel more confident supporting participants through hard moments.
• Clear ways exist to decide who Foundations is right for and when someone is ready for TLC.
