It is an exciting and busy time for the profession of Music Therapy in Illinois. The Illinois State Senate is currently considering the Music Therapy Registration Act (SB 2977). Here are some facts about this bill: - The title of "Music Therapy" would be a protected title
- Professionals who obtain the national credential (MT-BC) will be registered as Music Therapists in the State of Illinois
- This legislation would not restrict others from using music within their own domains, however it would recognize Music Therapy as a separate entity, so that the public could identify qualified providers.
The Illinois Music Therapy State Recognition Task Force has been working closely with both AMTA and CBMT in recent years to organize and shape our advocacy efforts. However, now is the time for all Music Therapists in Illinois to become engaged and active in this process. Please take time contact your Illinois State Senator to ask for their support of SB 2977. |
