By putting the client at the heart of SEMTA©, music therapists can be comfortable knowing they are using a person-centred assessment tool.
Music therapy assessment tools need to be flexible, and the SEMTA© is designed for the individual criterion to be set by you for your setting and client's needs.
The SEMTA© and accompanying SEMTAweb© make for a consistent dashboard which you can use in all your practices, time and time again.
Music therapy assessment tools often struggle with being quantitative. However, the scale of engagement, you can now quantify what was once qualitative.
With adjustable criterion, you can still input the quality of your client's engagement. It encourages the development of what happened, what your professional opinion of that is, and what it means moving forward.
The engagement-driven model avoids skill-based judgements and gets to the heart of what music therapists are really assessing: how does this person engage with music therapy.
