At Back Mountain Music Therapy, we believe that healing and growth are not confined to the walls of the therapy room—they are woven into everyday moments, interactions, and relationships. Our “Recommended Resources” page is an extension of that belief, thoughtfully curated to support individuals and families on their unique journeys. Here, you’ll find a carefully selected collection of books, musical tools, sensory-friendly products, and therapeutic materials that align with our developmental and relationship-based approach to music therapy.
Each item featured has been chosen with intention. These resources are designed to complement the work we do together in sessions by encouraging engagement, enhancing self-regulation, and fostering meaningful connections in home and community settings. Whether used during shared playtime, quiet moments of self-soothing, or joyful musical exploration, these tools are here to enrich your experience and help you carry therapeutic growth into everyday life.
Importantly, these recommendations are not prescriptions. Rather, they are gentle invitations—to explore, to create, and to connect with yourself and with others. Whether you’re interested in learning more about DIR/Floortime principles, looking for ways to introduce calming sensory experiences, or hoping to incorporate more music into your daily rhythm, we hope this resource list offers both inspiration and guidance.
Our recommendations come from years of experience, trusted relationships with colleagues in the field, and real-world use with our clients. Many of these tools have been integrated into sessions at Back Mountain Music Therapy and adapted to support a variety of needs. Whether you are a parent, caregiver, educator, or fellow therapist, we invite you to treat this collection as a springboard for creativity, connection, and continued growth beyond the therapy room.
