(NMT)
Neurologic Music Therapy
With a basis in neuroscience, NMT is a research informed practice involving the use of music and musical elements, to optimise pathways in the brain and improve non-musical functions.
Put simply, we have an understanding of how music impacts the brain and we use this understanding to work on your goals across communication, cognition, sensory and motor domains.
(S2C)
Spelling to Communicate
A type of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) suitable for non-speaking, minimally speaking and unreliably speaking individuals. S2C is a structured approach that aims to build the motor skills necessary to point to letters and words as a means of communication for individuals with motor planning challenges.
Based on decades of practice, S2C applies the latest important research into movement differences and autism, dyspraxia, sensory processing and more.
(RAMSR)
Rhythm and Movement for Self Regulation
The ‘world first’ evidence based program from the Queensland University of Technology combining the neuroscience of:
- beat synchronisation and rhythmic entrainment
- cognitive benefits of coordinated movement, music participation and relaxation
- neurocognitive evidence from music therapy and music training (the ‘musician advantage’)
- developmental psychobiology of self-regulation development
Meet Bec, Australia’s leading Neurologic Music Therapist.
From classical music training and performing nationally in an Eastern European Gypsy band, to completing a Masters of Music Therapy and advanced training in Neurologic Music Therapy and learning all I can about autism, the last two decades of building skills have led me here.
I’ve co-designed a world first, cutting edge evidence based self regulation program for young children. I’ve acknowledged the need for building communication skills in non-speaking autistic individuals (and the lack of available support in this area) and became a certified Spelling to Communicate practitioner, opening the doors to robust communication for many individuals. I’ve trained numerous communication partners to identify how they can support their loved ones by applying simple strategies from the latest evidence across several fields.
My team and I would love to help you.

What our clients are saying...
“My son has loved having Bec as his teacher and we’re fortunate she was such a good fit as he takes a while to get used to people . I can definitely see big changes in him in lots of ways due to the fact Bec has been so encouraging with him to help him reach his full potential.”
“Bec is a wonderful therapist and has a lot of experiences in working with kids and adults in the autism spectrum. She sees the potential in my 15yo son and knows how to engage with him. It is incredible to see the work that they produce together. He loves her sessions! I would highly recommend her.”
“Think Bec is a great teacher. She knows a lot about autism and how to help people who can’t talk and who don’t know how to sit still.”
“If you can get in to see Rebecca at Rhythmic Integrations you will not only be a very lucky person, you will also never look back! Bec is very talented, knowledgeable and passionate about her work. She will respond to you and/or your child with the presumption of competence, positivity, warmth and creativity. She has taken every opportunity to broaden her skills so that she can communicate and participate well within a multidisciplinary team. It’s a pleasure to share this with everyone.”
“Bec, and her team, are sensational. Her knowledge, expertise and dedication to assisting my daughter has been amazing. When my daughter first started with Bec she was really shy with using her voice and often had difficulty expressing herself enough to be heard. Bec has helped her to find her voice and her confidence. Bec has used targeted music therapy sessions to assist her in learning how to say words that she has previously struggled with and in specific context for her starting to work in a café. My daughter thoroughly enjoys her sessions with Bec and has come such a long way during the few years she has been working with her.”
“Rebecca’s experience, expertise and enthusiasm have brought a new dimension to our own approach to communication. Combined with her music therapy sessions, this has made the past year a time for us to grow and consolidate existing skills. Looking forward to the next stage.”
“I have known Bec for over 10 years since my son started seeing her for joint music / speech sessions. Bec is one of the best therapists he has seen. Her knowledge of ASD (Autism),apraxia/ dyspraxia, and sensory processing disorders is extraordinary. Since my son has been seeing Bec as an S2C practitioner his independence in his communication skills has improved immensely. I highly recommend Bec if you need a neurologic music therapist or S2C practitioner.”
