Use of Music Therapy in Special Education

1. Helping Challenging Minds
The Power Project
The Learning Network (TLN) is introducing “The Power Project” Music Therapy sessions for children and
adults with special needs. Aims of The Power Project are to provide Music Therapy to address their
needs and keep coordination with school/parents to help challenging minds. It is seen and observed that
without making a central work plan or coordination it is difficult to achieve goals. Coordination between
school, therapist, teacher, and parents make work easy and productive. The Power project is the part of
Music Therapy Centre and the details are included in United Nation Public Administration Network
compendium “Music as a Global Resource” (MAGR) and can be seen at UNPAN website.
