Online music-based coaching
Online music work is you, a song the child already loves, and one goal — looking, waiting, or a request. We are not a registered music therapist.
Written by the Inclusive Developmental and Therapy Center therapy team — our Speech & Language Therapist, psychology and ABA staff. This page is awaiting its clinical review.
What video is genuinely good for
Attention to a verse. A pause so they can request “again”. Turn-taking on a clap. Pillar: music-based work. How it supports communication: music and communication.
A consultation is Rs 1,500 and lasts up to 50 minutes.
What we will not pretend
We do not claim Nordoff-Robbins or a music-therapy registration. If the child needs a licensed music therapist, we say so. A bad speaker on a phone is a reason to keep it simple — one song, not a mix.
How to start from another city or country
WhatsApp the child’s age, the worry, and your city. We reply in Urdu or English. Keep any local waiting-list place you already have. A consultation is Rs 1,500 and lasts up to 50 minutes. One centre: Model Town, Multan. No branch in your city.
What video cannot do
A group sit with a drum, a sensory flood we cannot see, NMT after a medical event. We refer. Online therapy.
The idea behind the work (in the books)
Video can coach the pause in a song you already use. We still do not become a registered music therapist on a call.
Hanen — coach the wait
We watch you pause. The child can be off-camera. Not a concert for us.
Cochrane Geretsegger — different profession
The evidence is about music therapists. We will not print it as if it were about this call.
What the research tells us
This isn’t just our opinion — it’s grounded in published research. Here are a few findings from trusted, independent sources:
A 2022 Cochrane review of 26 studies found moderate-certainty evidence that music therapy delivered by music therapists is associated with global improvement and better quality of life. It found no clear difference for social interaction or verbal communication at that time point. Inclusive does not employ a registered music therapist.

Online — questions parents ask
Do you have a clinic in my city?
No. One centre, MPS Road, Model Town, Multan. Online is the same team on video.
What do I need on the call?
A phone, a quiet-enough room, and the toy, snack or routine that usually fails. The child does not always have to sit on camera.
Will this replace local services?
No. Complementary. Not an EHCP, IEP or NDIS assessment, and not a licence in your country.
How much?
A consultation is Rs 1,500 and lasts up to 50 minutes, wherever you are. Ongoing fees are explained after we understand the plan.
Is this music therapy online?
No. We do not employ a registered music therapist. We coach looking, requesting and stopping inside a song.
