Should music be used therapeutically in occupational therapy?
It has long been common knowledge that music profoundly affects human beings on a variety of levels. Occupational therapists have at their disposal a potentially powerful therapeutic tool, but the specific effects of this tool have not been documented. Occupational therapists have a history of using music in their treatment, probably to a greater extent than is documented in the literature. It would be advantageous for us to engage in research regarding the application of music to occupational therapy.
