American Music Therapy Association

As baby boomers continue to age, it is probable that the number of music therapists serving the older adult population will continue to grow. The purpose of this institute is to provide music therapists with evidence-based practice considerations for working with older adults on a continuum, from those who are healthy and living independently to those who have various physical and cognitive needs. Specialty topics include research and clinical applications for Parkinson disease and dementia as well as intergenerational music therapy practice for wellness and lifelong learning.
