Accommodations for Persons with Disabilities: AMTA is committed to supporting full participation for conference attendees with disabilities. Every attempt is made for full compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and beyond. If you should require accommodations to participate in the conference, please indicate your needs by contacting the AMTA National Office as soon as feasible and prior to the conference to be discussed and all attempts to address made before the conference begins. Every attempt will be made to ensure satisfactory participation. Please bring your confidential requests, questions, or concerns, directly to AMTA Conference Director Cindy Smith, smith@musictherapy.org, to allow reasonable accommodations to be fully considered based on individual needs.
Cancellation/Refund Policy: Refunds for cancellations of any conference activities should be sent via email to conference@musictherapy.org. 80% of fees will be refunded if the request is received no later than 9/01/22, 50% if the request is postmarked 9/02/22–10/10/22. NO REFUNDS will be made after 10/10/22, so please plan ahead. Refund processing begins approximately 5 days after the conclusion of the conference and takes 3-6 weeks. If you paid by credit card you will receive a refund back to your card. If you paid by check you will receive a refund by check. You are responsible for providing a valid postal address where your check may be sent. Note that most banks will not cash checks older than 90 days so you should plan to present your check for payment as soon as you receive it. Checks uncashed after 120 days will be voided.
Add-On Courses for CMTE or CEU Credit: Additional courses for CMTE credit are offered at a low-cost rate in conjunction with conference registration. To enroll in an additional course, you must be registered for the conference on at least the day the course is scheduled.

In some cases, courses are offered for free to current AMTA members and others. While the registration for these indicated courses is free, there may be a $20 processing fee assessed to ensure attendance and participation as well as cover the cost of handling your registration.
