IMCAP-ND: Clinical Manual Developmental relationship-based framework on how clients perceive, interpret, and create music with therapist Rating musical: 1) emotional responses, 2) cognition and perception, and 3) preferences, perceptual efficiency, and selfregulation Carpente, J.

IMCAP-ND features: Three developmentally based, quantitative scales Guiding principles for conducting assessment process Protocols, rating scales, procedures for support, intake forms, and evaluation report templates Carpente, J. (2013). Individual Music-Centered Assessment Profile for Neurodevelopmental Disorders (IMCAP-ND): A Clinical Manual. Baldwin, NY: Regina Publishers
IMCAP-ND may be used: clinical goals and treatment plans musically guide therapist in how to work with the client communicate information to parents and treatment team pre- and posttest measures to evaluate client progress
Population Specific: Neurodevelopmental Disorders To name a few: Autism spectrum disorders Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Motor disorders Traumatic brain injury (including cerebral palsy) Intellectual developmental disorder Communication disorders (speech & language disorders Genetic disorders, such as fragile-x syndrome] Down syndrome Note: Evaluate clients at various developmental levels & chronological ages from children to adults APA (2013).

Foundations of IMCAP-ND
IMCAP s 3 Rating Scales Scale I: Musical Emotional Assessment Rating Scale (MEARS) Scale II: Musical Cognition/Perception Scale (MCPS) Scale III: Musical Responsiveness Scale (MRS)
Scale I: Musical Emotional Assessment Rating Scale B) 5 music domain areas: 1) musical attention, 2) musical-affect, 3) adaption to musical-play, 4) musical engagement, and 5) musical interrelatedness. C) Scoring: 1) frequency, 2) support, & 3) media. ***REFER TO IMCAP-ND MANUAL FOR OPERATION DEFINITIONS***
Scale II: Musical Cognitive Perception Scale A) Examine client s ability to react, focus, recall, follow, and initiate five musical elements B) Scoring: 1) frequency, & 2) media
Einstein: "Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts"
Value of rating scores/numbers Help clinician conceptualize clients All relative to therapist s clinical musicianship, knowledge of NDs, and understanding of IMCAP constructs Comparing client's to themselves Scores express within the context of interactions & relatedness Yes, they are quantitative, but is the scorer?
Scale III: Musical Responsiveness Scale A) evaluate client s overall responsiveness and tendencies B) Scoring: 1) Frequency, & 2) Media
Session Format Individual MT Clinical improvisation Media Musical procedures Supportive procedures Procedural consideration Procedural phases
Procedures for Support Interventions: Least to Most Mild verbal Medium visual Moderate support partial physical Maximum support full physical support Cooper, H. & Heward, H.
