About the Project

KidLinks is creating a custom, digital application with music, animations and downloadable guidebooks to aid in the instruction of social-emotional skills development. In collaboration with Metrocare Services as a clinical resource for testing and development, this musical toolbox will be made available to community centers serving children and families throughout Texas.

A customized music resource to aid clinicians and families in the development of coping and social skills through music and media.
