Approaches to music and movement for children with severe and profound multiple disabilities. 17- 27.
Four approaches to music and movement for children with severe and profound multiple disabilities are outlined and discussed in terms of goals, activities, the role of the music therapist, the role of the physiotherapist, and the role of music. Elements that music therapists consider when designing music and movement programs for this population are also identified. The article is informed by a literature review and the author's clinical experience.

A comparison of video recall responses between music therapy, music and other therapy students. 28 - 37.
This study examined the recall from viewing a music therapy session by five different cohorts of students (22 graduate music therapy students, 8 graduate art therapy, 10 creative and expressive therapies students, 10 counselling students and 17 undergraduate music students). The study was part of a larger program of research that investigated how learning occurs in music therapy. The recall task was based on viewing a 3-minute excerpt of a professionally produced video showing clinical music therapy with narration. Participants (n = 67) produced 277 comments that were categorised under the following headings: music context, therapy context, client/therapist actions, visual context, client classification/health setting, and unclassified. There were significant differences between the average number of recalls for each category. The categories of music and therapy produced the highest number of recalls compared to other categories with music therapy and music students rating the highest overall scores. The findings of this study supported a model of specific learning that occurs in different domains of knowledge and showed the impact of one's training in the perception of a new situation.

Agitated behaviours in Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders: Music and music therapy research.
The purpose of this paper is to review literature that addresses music and music therapy interventions for people with Alzheimer's Disease and related disorders who display agitated behaviours. Several music therapy journals and databases were investigated. Two types of studies emerged. The first type included music and music therapy studies on (a) general agitation, (b) wandering, (c) verbal agitation, or (d) sleep disturbance. The second type focused on activities of daily living interventions, specifically mealtime or bathing agitation. The findings of these studies will be described and interrelated research outcomes discussed. Many articles support the premise for familiar or individualised music reducing agitation. Similarities in responses to agitated behaviours will be discussed and suggestions for more rigorous research designs are also presented.
