“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?
