Emily Langlois Hunt

I own a Porirua-based mobile music therapy service; the Little Musical Caravan. We travel to schools, pre-schools, homes and other community settings to provide support for a wide range of children, ideally within their social settings and in an inclusive way. With a neurodiversity and disability positive philosophy, we use a strengths-based approach to support growth and development. Our sessions are child-led, but key areas we often support include; language and communication development, social development, sensory and emotional regulation and emotional expression.

“It seems music crosses any language (and understanding) barrier, which for our children lets them at that time be as equal as so-called normal children. Though what is normal and who decides? I am so proud of my girl and how far she has come. Thanks for everything you have done for [my child]. I truly appreciate it.” (Parent)
