The MusicWorx Toolbox course Group Music Therapy Interventions Working in Neurologic Rehabilitation is ideal for working in a neurologic rehabilitation setting. But the ideas are adaptable to fit almost any population, helping clients achieve cognitive, sensorimotor, speech and language, social, and emotional goals. These intervention ideas are thorough enough that music therapists may replicate them exactly to create successful therapeutic sessions. But they also may incorporate any therapist's unique artistic interpretation. Expand on each session intervention to create up to one hour of equivalent topic therapeutic musical exercises. Or, use two or more interventions interchangeably to create a multi-dynamic session that can accommodate hours of exceptional music therapy interventions!

Foreward from a client with traumatic brian injury
Information on music and neurologic rhabilitation
Five diverse sections containing 20 easy to read session plan formats
Numerous handouts with resource lists, songs, titles, books and CDs
