Learning Objectives
References to items on the Board Certification Domains are based on the Practice Analysis Study of 2019. Those registered for MusicWorx Toolbox: Music Therapy with Older Adults will develop or improve their abilities to use music therapeutically in older adult settings for both individual and group sessions. Participants will learn about implementation and structure of therapy techniques and how to implement the methods in an effective manner.
Music Therapy with Older Adults addresses these specific competencies in the current Board Certification Domains:
Learning Objective 1 | Describe four effective music therapy intervention types appropriate for older–adult populations. |
Learning Objective 2 | Individualize at least two of the interventions from the book to enhance the effectiveness of therapy. |
Learning Objective 3 | Structure music therapy experiences by creating a therapeutic contour within each session via verbal facilitation, sequencing, pacing, etc. |
Learning Objective 4 | Explain use of cues (visual aids, movements, etc.) to assist communication with an older adult. |
