Professional Consultations & Presentations
Professional Consultations
As our mission states, we believe it is important to continually incorporate current research and best practice techniques, and to spread the knowledge of Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT) through professional trainings. Together, we can ensure the quality of NMT and continue to develop NMT as a profession. NMTSA believes it is important to support and encourage fellow NMT’s in the field working with persons with autism, neurologic impairments, and/or developmental disabilities.
