Product Description
"The Individualized Music Therapy Assessment Profile" (IMTAP) is an easy-to-use, reliable, indepth music therapy assessment protocol developed by a team of six experienced music therapists. Designed for use in paediatric and adolescent settings, this multi-level process of assessment provides a clear profile of each client over time. The accompanying CD-ROM allows the therapist to store and refer back to client details, and to create charts and graphs showing progress and areas to work on. The authors cover the assessment process from intake through planning assessment and research to analysis and include accessible sample assessment sessions and examples of activities and interventions. Addressing the lack of a standard tool for assessing music therapy, the "IMTAP" may be used on a variety of levels: as a treatment plan for music therapy work; as a tool to develop goals and objectives; as a means to address and assess targeted skill sets; as an indicator of overall functioning, as a baseline for treatment; as a research method; and, as a communication tool for parents and healthcare professionals. The "IMTAP" yields detailed, easy-to-understand information on client abilities and functioning and identifies effective music therapy strategies for each client, making it an essential tool for students and professionals in the field of music therapy.

The definitive approach March 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Clearly the authors have taken an intensive, comprehensive approach to the many areas of special needs in a variety of diagnosed populations, especially Autism and other childhood functionality. This comprehensive guide to observing and documenting behaviors, cognitive, emotional and physiologic functions, will serve to illuminate specific needs that can serve to focus goals and objectives for the music therapist. It is surely an excellent step toward developing a "clinical eye".
This is the first comprehensive assessment that I have encountered which takes a look at the whole being from many angles. It is gratifying to know that there is, finally, a substantial evaluation process that parallels medical protocol, and can be respected by a large majority of health care professions. Bravo to the authors for their thinking and concerns, and for this major contribution to the still-developing profession of Music Therapy.
Excellent assessment tool! December 18, 2007

I am a board certified music therapist currently working with various children and adults. The IMTAP is one of the assessment tools I use when assessing children with various special needs. I highly recommend it. I find it very thorough, individualized, and adaptable! The IMPTAP gives me a very clear picture as to what the clients' strengths and areas of need are helping me determine more efficiently where the client is at and what the focus of therapy should be. Another big plus is that b/c I handle various assessments on a monthly bases, I think it is important to utilize assessment tools that are easy to use... I think it's a bit hard to find reliable and comprehensive assessment tools that are easy to navigate... this is one!
IMTAP - a great assessment tool December 8, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I am a board certified music therapist and used the IMTAP recently with an adolescent with developmental disabilities. I found it to be very comprehensive and easy to use. The detailed and easy to understand graphs that it produced were very helpful in determining the student's functioning levels. They were easy to present to her IEP team and were well received by the other professionals and administrators. I look forward to repeating the assessment with this student to see how her progress changes over time.
