Neurologic Music Therapy

Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) is a specialist service and clinical approach within music therapy. Where standard music therapy can be free-flowing, NMT is made up of standardised, research based clinical techniques, which create neurological change for clients.   Consequently, as a clinical and precise approach, NMT can track measurable change in all neurological conditions. In short, it can support:

  • Speech and Communication
  • Emotional Well-being and Expression
  • Motor Skills
  • Cognition and learning

We provide full Neurologic Music Therapy assessments and ongoing NMT, and work alone or with full multi-disciplinary teams. These comprehensive assessments inform other health professionals in addition to revealing specific areas that need further input across domains, for instance.

 

MATADOC Assessment

The Music Therapy Assessment Tool for Awareness in Disorders of Consciousness (MATADOC) is a standardised diagnostic music-based measure validated for use with adults with disorders of consciousness (DOC). The MATADOC provides a rigorous assessment and evaluation for use with people whose awareness is difficult to assess clinically due to complex clinical presentations compromising motor, cognitive and communication functioning. Although validated for adults with DOC, it can be used with other minimally responsive populations including children with DOC, those with profound developmental disabilities, end stage dementia or end stage terminal illness. This tool can be used for complex neurologic or legal cases which require support for a Disorder of Consciousness diagnosis.

What our friends say about us

We use MusAbility for several of our clients who are currently, and have previously been through the medical negligence court system. MusAbility’s services are not only professional, timely and evidence-based in their clinical assessments, but the clients also show real developments in long-term work where many other health professionals declared none were possible. A truly inspirational team.

Medical Negligence Lawyer

Not only can we see the clear changes in behaviour for the children that attend music therapy…but it’s giving the staff new skills and techniques to work with the children that need a little extra support. Just brilliant.

Classroom Teacher, Mainstream School

It is absolutely fascinating to see how this child responds in music therapy…to be surrounded by verbal interaction, then be met in an environment when words are sometimes not used at all…it is incredibly impactive. I think it should be available to every child!

Support Assistant in Mainstream School

I have honestly never seen anything like it…music therapy reaches this child at such a profound level, we are in tears of joy every session, and their development visibly increases week to week.

Teaching Assistant, Specialist School

Some of the children in our school are that bit older…and they really struggle to engage both in the classroom and with staff on a 1:1 basis. Music therapy breaks down all boundaries. They love the sessions, and they think it’s so ‘cool’ that they are pushed to reach their potential…sometimes without even realising it!

Deputy Head Teacher, School for Children with Special Needs

Our music therapist is an integral part of our team. Not only do they engage clinically with the clients, but they also liaise with staff within the multi-disciplinary team…most importantly always putting the client first. We absolutely could not do without music therapy…and our clients wouldn’t allow it!
