Maine Music Therapy Task Force See the ATMA's guide for more information and to read about the progress other states have made: http://www.musictherapy.org/ policy/stateadvocacy/ Also read more on the CBMT page (www.cbmt.org) about board- certification. A key reason to advocate for state recognition of music therapy and eventually require a license is to make sure you're getting the best client care possible! Educating communities about music therapy and its benefits includes information on our scope of practice and history of this profession. This will increase access to funding sources for services and thus increase access to services for clients.
