Music therapy is a well-established professional health discipline that uses music as the therapeutic stimulus to achieve therapeutic goals. In music therapists utilize music in a mediating context to maintain and enable functioning, communication, healthy socio-emotional expression, and/or specific skills. For some clients, the special skills and qualifications of the music therapist replace traditional music and arts training so that the client may have access to a musical arts experience and normalcy.
For children with special needs, music therapy is recognized as a related service. Music therapy serves as an integral component in helping the child with special needs attain educational goals identified by his/her Individualized Education Program (IEP) team, either through direct or consultant services. For clients with state (e.g., Division of Developmental Disabilities), the music therapist is an active part of a multidisciplinary allied health team providing therapeutic services.
