Music therapy is an established health care profession that uses musical experience of all types within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals and groups.
Clinical research shows that children, adolescents, adults, and seniors can benefit from music therapy treatment through its use in physical rehabilitation, pain management, enriched special education services, emotional support, socialization, and wellness programs.
Music therapy is delivered by a Board-Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), someone who has the skills and training to provide a broad range of music-based interventions, assess the needs and abilities of the client(s), recommend goals and objectives, develop treatment plans, and can effectively communicate with other members of the treatment team.
