• Collaboration with clients to center their needs, wants, and preferences
• Multidisciplinary collaboration in treatment processes
• Collaboration with other music-based service providers to expand the continuum of care
• Peer collaboration with music therapists for advocacy, support, and advancement of the music therapy profession
• Any other innovative collaborations you have engaged!
• Deadline: April 25, 2022
Presentation Options

- Pre-recorded MP4 session for possible virtual platform available post-live conference (November 2022). The recording will be due at the end of October 2022.

You will also need to submit the presentation title, type, abstract (500 characters maximum, including spaces), audience, learning objectives, long form description, bibliography, release requirements, pre-requisites, possible conflicts for all presenters, instruments requested, conflict of interest declaration, and usage permissions.
