Music Therapy in the News

12/7/2011

This year has been an exciting one for the profession of Music Therapy with books, movies, and several news reports.  One such news report has been the tremendous progress that Gabby Giffords has made in part with the help of Music Therapy after a tragic shooting and Traumatic Brain Injury.  Here is a wonderful report and a few videos that we would like to share with you:

Mark Kelly, her cheerleading husband, has been documenting her progress from the very beginning.  Her therapists, including music therapist Maeghan Morrows, have been using music to elicit and encourage language skills because music is processed in all parts of the brain.  Her progress in the area of language is fascinating to us all.  Most music therapists understand, and want to share, that we can relate that to many other people that we work with - Music encourages communication skills!  

Gabby's success has brought the spotlight to our profession, something we are very thankful for.  We wish her and all people living with Traumatic Brain Injury all the best in their every day successes!
