| Abstract | Music therapy is a fun, creative, and powerful means of using music functionally as a tool. It can assist individuals with developmental disabilities in changing their manner of functioning, establishing contact, maintaining a relationship, and stimulating their motivation to learn. The practitioner's handbook provides music therapists with a solid foundation for the practice of music therapy and the resources and methods necessary to empower clients with disabilities. It presents an innovative approach to music as a therapeutic tool for persons in the five categories of developmental disabilities: mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and other neurological impairments. This second edition includes a CD of popular and folk songs and improvisations, performed by music therapy clients and assisted by the author. |
