Questions You Might Have

What are the costs?
We offer various funding-compatible options including private pay and localized grant support. Please contact Cadenza Compass directly to discuss your specific situation and we can help guide you through the process.
Can I stay during the session?
We maintain a flexible approach. Some carers use the time for essential respite, while others prefer to stay for the first few sessions to help their loved one settle. We work with what feels best for your family.
My loved one is non-verbal. Is that okay?
Absolutely. Our music and sensory-based approach is specifically designed for individuals who communicate in diverse ways. Sound is a universal language that transcends words.

Those two hours a week are my lifeline. I can finally get my shopping done without rushing, knowing my son is not just safe, but genuinely happy and engaged. It's made a huge difference to our whole family.

Why did we choose Cadenza Compass? Because the team doesn't just provide a service; they provide a community. My daughter Ghandi has never felt more heard than when she is making music here.
