Music Therapy in the IEP
"If the IEP team determines that music therapy is an appropriate related service for a child, the team's determination must be reflected in the child's IEP, and the service must be provided at the public expenses and at no cost to the parents."
" . . . Music therapy and general music education are distinct disciplines and professions. School music educators therefore may not have the appropriate training to provide music therapy for a child with a disability."
(Excerpt from June 9, 2000 letter to the AMTA from the U.S. Department of Education)
