About
Hi! I'm Haley Hanford, Board-Certified Music Therapist.
With over six years of experience working with individuals on the Autism Spectrum, with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), and learning differences, my focus is on using music to empower children and young adults, adapting to their unique developmental journeys, and integrating with their other therapies and daily life.
I create personalized, evidence-based interventions tailored to each client’s needs and strengths, prioritizing what matters most to them and their families. In both one-on-one and group settings, I provide a safe and nurturing environment that enhances cognitive, communication, motor, and social skills, aiming to improve academic abilities, communication, motor coordination, and self-esteem through supportive and engaging music therapy.
