Teaching of special educational needs; Creative therapy (eg art, music, drama)

Musical games and activities can significantly improve the social, emotional, cognitive and motor skills of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. However, many music therapy resources are written with children in mind, and it can be difficult to find suitable age-appropriate activity ideas for adults.

This versatile collection of 100 group music activities is the perfect sourcebook to provide insight to music therapists who are new to working with this client group, and inspiration to those familiar with working with adults but in need of fresh ideas. Each activity is developed in depth, with clear goals and instructions, and includes easy adaptations to suit a wide range of ability levels. With accompanying online downloadable content and sheet music, this book contains a ready supply of lively and original songs that can be used by practitioners of all musical abilities.

With this practical and inspiring resource, music therapists, caregivers and other professionals working with adults with developmental and cognitive disorders will never be short of age-appropriate ideas again.

"Maria Ramey's book is packed with 100 musical exercises that I, as a drama facilitator for people with intellectual disability, find instantly engaging. Maria has produced a very clear and well laid out book that is accessible and easy to follow. -- Frontline In conclusion, Group Music Activities for Adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities is a book some music therapists may value having to hand if only for its potential to stimulate new ideas in a field where it is very easy to become ""stuck"". -- Approaches: Music Therapy & Special Music Education"
