Background

With the outbreak in March 2020 of the COVID pandemic in the US, MMTF suspended all individual and group therapy as part of the general lockdown. The facilities in which the program was conducted were also shut down. Beginning in April 2020, our therapists began introducing clients to individual and small group therapy sessions online. 

At the present time, we understand that most of the clients and caregivers have been vaccinated and boosted. Masking can be a problem; not everyone can wear a mask effectively, because of disabilities. Keeping in mind that singing and congregating indoors are high-risk activities, we continue to offer virtual services, while also moving back into offering in-person sessions with safety precautions in place such as small sized groups, well ventilated spaces, and thorough cleaning of materials before and after sessions.
