If people cannot communicate with speech alone or are difficult to access, music therapy is often used. Music promotes brain plasticity, helps people relearn speech and fine motor skills after a stroke, is effective for Parkinson's disease and dementia, against depression, regulates circulation and reduces pain. For children with disabilities, in developmental crises, with attention deficit disorders or violent tendencies, music therapy can help prevent acute problems from becoming chronic.
