Course Information
This two hour online workshop is being offered separately for allied heath and education professionals:

Teachers: 4-6pm AEST 4 May 2023
The purpose of this workshop is to equip Allied Health Clinicians and Teachers with theoretical knowledge and practical skills for working with people who have hearing loss. With a focus on neural mechanisms and the unique place of music in habilitation/rehabilitation, communication, cognition, connection and self expression, the presenter will offer tangible music therapy-informed methods that can be implemented by non-registered music therapists.

Workshop Objectives
1. Clinicians and Teachers will grasp a theoretical understanding of the important role of music in this context
2. Clinicians and Teachers will learn to utilise music in an appropriate and effective manner when working in this context
