“I provide music therapy under the Indiana Medicaid waiver.” Now, what does that exactly mean? This presentation will describe what opportunities the Indiana Medicaid waiver provides for individuals with ID and DD. What is the Medicaid waiver and what it means for future music therapists? What population, types of goals, and what a typical a day would look like for a music therapist. This presentation will also describe recreational therapy and how it can provide a holistic approach when paired with music therapy.

Internship, Business Ownership, and Beyond: Curious about internship? Has private practice crossed your mind? Elisabeth Tinnes, MT-BC, will offer practical information on internship that includes mock interviews and answers to the question “what is a clinical training director really looking for and how can I prepare?”
Beyond internship, Elisabeth will outline the steps to creating a music therapy business, generating clients, employees vs sub contractors, maintaining the work you have and expanding your business.
