  • Therapeutic Music Entertainment

    THERAPEUTIC MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (TME) IS DEFINED AS "A MUSICAL ACTIVITY OR PERFORMANCE WHICH, BY THE VIRTUE OF ITS DIVERSION, AMUSEMENT AND/OR PLEASING QUALITIES, SUPPORTS AND ENCOURAGES HEALING." KIDLINKS PROVIDES TME TO HOSPITALS, SPECIAL CARE CENTERS, AND COMMUNITY EVENTS THROUGHOUT THE DFW AREA. OUR TME TEAM WORKS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EMOTIONS CAN BE EXPRESSED IN POSITIVE WAYS, SELF-ESTEEM IS FOSTERED, AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES ARE CELEBRATED. WE GIVE CHILDREN AN OPPORTUNITY TO RELAX, BE SILLY, HAVE FUN, AND TO HEAL.
