Recipients also include youth identified as at-risk due to socio-economic factors. These programs are offered only in a school setting.

Before starting a program, all clients meet with a Kardon therapist who assesses interests, talents and skills. Observations and recommendations are then discussed with the parent/caretaker/case manager and an individualized program is created.

A client may participate in any combination of Music, Dance/Movement or Art Therapy programs. Individual sessions may be 30, 45 or 60 minutes in length. Hours vary at each location. Generally, sessions are available Monday through  Saturday.

Financial aid based on annual income is available. We also partner with other social services organizations with whom a potential client may already be involved.
