The Role of Assessments in Neurologic Music Therapy®

Assessments are a huge part of any type of therapy, they help create baselines, show progress, and are vital in research. Whether you realize it or not assessments are a common practice in therapeutic settings including Music Therapy, especially in Neurologic Music Therapy®.

At Musical Bridges we want to be as transparent as possible with our clients and their support system. We routinely complete assessments that are congruent with client goals and disseminate the information garnered from them. We want our clients and their families to be present in their treatment and knowledgeable to the how and why we do certain things.

As Neurologic Music Therapists® we do much more than an initial assessment for our clients. We have a robust list of assessments that can be applied and used to track data from client’s individual goals. With these assessments we are able to provide clients and families with pinpointed and specific data regarding their progress throughout Music Therapy.
