About The Lab
Messy Happy Music Lab is home to Baltimore’s most inclusive, evidence based musical pediatric speech therapy practice. We are rooted in joy, inclusivity, and the idea that your child’s individuality is the golden ticket to their success.
Meet the Founder
Speech-Language Pathologist and Musician, Corinne Zmoos
Corinne is a goofy, joyful, and genuine therapist and coach who received her BA in Speech & Hearing Sciences from The George Washington University and Master’s in Communication Sciences and Disorders from Emerson College. She completed her Clinical Fellowship as a traveling therapist for DC’s Strong Start Early Intervention Program followed by four years with Easterseals DC MD VA developing an AAC evaluation and treatment program. Corinne continues to serve as a Clinical Supervisor and mentor to the Easterseals team for supporting neurodivergent children and complex communicators.
As a lifelong songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, she passionately integrates music and play research into her therapy sessions, caregiver coaching, and music lessons. Corinne attempts to craft therapeutic approaches that empower children and their loved ones to connect with the intentional, authentic, melodic, and (sometimes) messy experiences childhood deserves.
In 2022, Corinne opened Messy Happy Music Lab in Baltimore to take her mission to the next level and root her private practice, Crescendo Communication LLC in a permanent home.
Why The Lab?
Growth Through Melodic, Messy Play
For children, especially neurodivergent kids, experimentation, repetition, mess, and melody are paramount for joyful, attuned learning. Corinne saw the value in creating a dedicated space that facilitates her speech therapy clients and music lesson students to learn in a child-led, natural way.
The Lab is abundantly stocked with supplies and toys that allow your child to engage in self-directed play designed to help them regulate, focus, and explore. You might find them playing in the ball-pit, climbing on the Pickler, exploring a trombone, or lounging on the therapeutic swing.
Inclusion is at the forefront of Messy Happy Music Lab’s creation. This is the place where AAC devices, stimming, feeding tubes, walkers, chewies, wheelchairs, and other assistive tools/tech are met with kindness and accommodation.
