Music-Mediated Intervention
Music-mediated intervention (MMI) can be used to increase learner communication, socialization, play, motor, and adaptive skills while reducing interfering behaviors.
DISCLAIMER:
This module is not intended to replace the university-based degree program and certification process of a music therapist, but rather, to introduce basic knowledge of MMI as an evidence-based practice for use with learners with autism in daily routines.

What Will I Learn?
The AFIRM model guides the learner through four lessons to facilitate:
- Learning basic knowledge about music-mediated intervention (MMI).
- Applying MMI in activity based scenarios that promote real-world application.
The Music-Mediated Intervention module will take approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to complete.
