A step in the right direction: Suggested strategies for implementing music therapy with the multihandicapped child. National Association for Music Therapy California Symposium on Clinical Practices (1987, Costa Mesa, California)

Journal/Book: Music Therapy Perspectives. 1989; 6: 57-60.

Abstract: Focuses on music therapy (MT) with the multihandicapped child and discusses necessary techniques that should be fostered in MT. Basic principles for building the interpersonal therapist-client relationship are to (1) observe what the client is saying, (2) change the physical and psychological environment if the client is not responding, and (3) set realistic goals addressing individual needs. Nonmusical and musical areas of observation are described to facilitate goal-setting for therapy with multihandicapped clients.
