The direct benefit that will flow from the purpose of promoting understanding amongst the public and health care professionals within Ireland is that these groups of people will be aware of music therapy as a therapeutic intervention and the positive effects it can bring if included as part of treatment for those with a disability. These benefits
can be evidenced through the increasing numbers of people seeking to access to training workshops and music therapy services and the feedback from our clients.
