Document Summary
Individuals with brain injuries or autism have the ability to engage by predicting what the word is going to be. Repetitive music/tunes help to facilitate the production of the session. Ensuring there is eye contact, communication, interaction between the patient and the therapist. There are different ways therapists begin their sessions and close their sessions, based on the individual. Moving from one activity to another (some clients struggle with transitions or change in environment) Ensuring there is enough time to transition from finishing the session to beginning another daily activity. Closing song signifies the finish, helps client prepare for what is coming next. Important to notify the client when they are being seen next, leaving knowing to have something to look forward to (in song) Both hello and goodbye songs need to be a couple of minutes to be able to truly connect.
