Tuesday 11 November
We are delighted to announce that this comprehensive one-day music therapy course will be delivered in collaboration with the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) in Dublin, Ireland.
A team of music therapists and researchers from the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (RHN) and the National Rehabilitation Hospital (NRH) in Dublin, Ireland will explore and discuss how Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) can be used alongside other music therapy methods for the holistic treatment of children and adults with a neuro-disability. Participants will engage with compelling presentations showcasing clinical work across diverse domains including sensorimotor, speech and language, cognitive and psychosocial-emotional domains.
