Additional Information
While our therapists may participate in various school events upon request, the primary focus remains on delivering direct therapeutic work with children and young people, whether individually or in groups. The music therapist will actively liaise with staff and parents or caregivers, providing valuable insights about the child’s progress in music therapy. We encourage parents to engage in sessions and participate actively when appropriate.
Additionally, the music therapist will prepare written reports for Annual Reviews and attend these meetings whenever possible.
To maximise the benefits of music therapy within your school or setting, we recommend establishing a referral system. We can provide guidance on creating an effective referral process to prioritise children and young people who may benefit most from music therapy.
