Reassessment

Ongoing Assessment

Once music therapy sessions have begun, the music therapist takes data on the client’s responses throughout each session, in direct correlation with the goals and outcomes outlined in the Music Therapy Treatment Plan. Through this process, the music therapist is constantly assessing emerging skills and reassessing skills that are developing. These observations and clinical data are used to create new goals and outcomes as well as quickly identify regression.

Formal Reassessment

There are times when a formal and complete reassessment may be requested by the therapist or client/guardian. If there has been a significant change in the client’s skills or behaviors, a reassessment may be requested to establish the client’s current baseline and develop goals and outcomes which reflect the new information. The therapist may also require a reassessment if there has been a gap in music therapy services. At Noteable Progressions, we typically reassess a client if we have not treated them in over three months. This may vary depending on a variety of circumstances.
