Developmental Rhythmic Activities
Feel the speed and strength of sound, move your body, and connect listening, seeing, and moving.
GROUP THERAPY
Group Developmental Support
While enjoying the sounds and rhythms with their friends, they gain experience interacting with people and the feeling of ``I did it!''.
ABOUT THIS SUPPORT
Because it's music, we can naturally share the same time together.
In Group Developmental Support, small groups engage in activities such as moving to music, playing instruments, waiting for their turn, and listening to the sounds of their peers. Even when it is difficult to communicate using only words, we create a place where it is easy to participate by using sounds and rhythms as common cues. Rather than forcing everyone to fit in with those around them, we work with staff to find ways for each person to participate safely.
WHO IT IS FOR
For Children and Families with These Needs
- Children who are anxious about participating in group activities or waiting their turn
- Children who want to practice how to keep their distance from friends and how to express their feelings
- Children who want to expand their range of activities through music and physical activity.
We do not decide the content of support based solely on the diagnosis name or characteristics. During the facility visit and trial session, we will listen to your child's condition and your family's wishes, and provide information on how to use the facility.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Group Developmental Support
Can I participate even if I don't like groups?
Yes. We do not ask you to participate in all activities from the beginning. We will consider ways to participate that suit your child, such as observing, working together with staff, or starting with a short period of time.
Are the number of people in the group and the activities the same each time?
It varies depending on the usage situation and support goals. We will inform you about the days of the week and the current group composition during the facility visit/trial session.
