Working in Neurologic Rehabilitation Settings

$35.00 – $190.00

This MusicWorx Toolbox is ideal for working in a neurologic rehabilitation setting. But the ideas are adaptable to fit almost any population, helping clients achieve cognitive, sensorimotor, speech and language, social, and emotional goals. These intervention ideas are thorough enough that music therapists may replicate them exactly to create successful therapeutic sessions. But they also may incorporate any therapist’s unique artistic interpretation. Expand on each session intervention to create up to one hour of equivalent topic therapeutic musical exercises. Or, use two or more interventions interchangeably to create a multi-dynamic session that can accommodate hours of exceptional music therapy interventions!

I enjoyed this toolbox more than any other I have explored. It will be a good reference for me to go into my next certification cycle. This course helped me to realize my motivation to practice music therapy and validate the activities I facilitated. Thank you Barbara & Rebecca! By the way - is this an undergraduate textbook yet?

This is the 4th MusicWorx Toolbox course that I have purchased and have not been disappointed. A wealth of information is provided in each course, and session plans can be used immediately and adapted with just about any population.
