Neurologic Music Therapists are increasingly being integrated within Multi-Disciplinary Teams (MDTs), particularly within the area of neuro-rehabilitation. This integrated approach is common in work globally, and this presentation explores the current theoretical approaches to MDT working. It also explores the current research base that highlights the experiences of Music Therapists working within such teams globally. From this context, the results of new research carried out by the presenter are discussed within this under-researched area. The results of this study show the ways in which the knowledge base around Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) and MDT working are established, alongside the identified strengths and challenges to this way of working. Suggestions for developments within this area across the profession are made, as well as suggestions for future research.
