Frequently Asked
Questions
What’s the difference between individual therapy and traditional lessons? Therapy services are directed towards meeting very specific, and [most often] non-artistic goals - such as developing social skills, reducing anxiety, or supporting academic material. Our therapists assess each client individually, as well as document progress on set goals and objectives. Our individual lessons are personally tailored to best support each of our students’ unique learning styles, and taught by one of our highly-qualified music or art instructors. From students who are responsive to more traditional creative arts instruction practices, to learners who require additional supports in the learning and skill acquisition process, Spectrum’s instructors specialize in adapting teaching approaches for many different learning styles.
