Clinical Hourly Requirements

• The intern will be full-time (40 hours per week) for six months to complete 1,200 hours of internship as required by the American Music Therapy Association. Adjustments to hours and length can be made for interns who need to have part time employment during internship, as Music To Grow on does not currently offer any stipend.

Caseload

• The intern will get the opportunity to work with multiple Music To Grow On team members (if not all) to provide a well-rounded internship experience with a variety of diagnoses, ages, and goals as well as groups and individuals. The intern is also responsible in playing an active role in creating his/her own schedule and building a caseload that is inclusive of the diagnoses seen at MTGO.
• The intern’s experience will begin with an observation period, in which the intern will be able to shadow each staff members’ entire caseload. The intern will also be able to have two observations of related therapies (SLP, PT, OT, ABA, etc.) to learn how different therapies work together for the same outcome.
• Along with guidance from the internship supervisor, the intern will then build a caseload from the clients he or she has seen. Keep in mind that some clients will be non-intern clients, and therefore not available to add to the intern’s caseload.

Special Projects

• The intern will also be required to complete three literature reviews, a final project, and perform an assessment under the supervision of our Assessment Coordinator, among other special projects to be determined.
