SINGING, dancing, drumming and playing the guitar to children with disabilities helps improve their social and motor skills, Australian therapists have found.
For one hour each week, Queensland University of Technology's Kate Williams and a team of music therapists would sit on the floor with a group of disabled children under five years old, joined by their mothers.
"We have a guitar and we use our voice ... and bring along a whole lot of instruments that are accessible and motivating," said Ms Williams.
