| Abstract: | This article illustrates some ways in which observations of typically-developing infants can inform music therapy and other
work with children with disabilities. The research project that is described examines typical infant development with special
attention to musical relatedness and communication. Videotapes of sessions centering on musical play with typically-developing
infants and of music therapy sessions of children with multiple severe disabilities are examined in light of developmental
issues, conceptual frameworks, and relationships between typical development and developmental issues of children with disabilities.
Greenspan’s model of psychosocial development is used as a basis for analyzing observations.
This research was conducted over a period of several years. Portions of what is reported here were presented at the European
Music Therapy Congress, Naples, Italy (Wheeler and Stultz 2001) and the 10th World Congress of Music Therapy, Oxford, UK (Wheeler and Stultz 2002). Thanks to Elizabeth Rightmyer for very helpful feedback on the article. |
