Music Therapy in the Individualized Education Plan (IEP)
"If the IEP team determines that music therapy is an appropriate related service for a child, the
team's determination must be reflected in the child's IEP, and the service must be provided at the
public expenses and at no cost to the parents."
"...Music therapy and general music education are distinct disciplines and professions. School music
educators therefore may not have the appropriate training to provide music therapy for a child with
a disability."
Excerpt from June 9, 2000 letter to the AMTA from the U.S. Department of Education
