    Music Therapy and the NDIS: Understanding music therapy as a reasonable and necessary support service for people with disability
    McFerran, KS ; Tamplin, J ; Thompson, G ; Lee, J ; Murphy, M ; Teggelove, K (Australian Music Therapy Association, 2016)
    This document results from the findings of a small scoping study conducted to develop a better understanding of the needs, perspectives, and goals of all stakeholders in the provision of music-based services within the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Interviews were conducted with 10 consenting participants (Registered Music Therapists, NDIS Plan Support Coordinators and a Parent of a Participant of the Scheme) with the content of these interviews forming the data used for analysis. With the study strongly highlighting a lack of community and sector understanding of music therapy, this document looks to stimulate discussion and solutions to broadening knowledge of the profession, particularly in relation to its existing implementation and future potential for people with disability under the NDIS, and as such is prepared on behalf of the Australian Music Therapy Association Inc. It is intended as a document of reference for the NDIA, Registered Music Therapists, Participants of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, their parents, carers and support workers.

    Applying Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to Video Data in Music Therapy
    Lee, J ; MCFERRAN, K (Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2015)
    The current study presents a distinct video microanalysis method, which was guided by Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and developed specifically for this music therapy research project. Music therapy studies that have applied video analysis or phenomenology are reviewed, and basic theoretical principals of IPA are discussed. Rationale for developing Interpretative Phenomenological Video Analysis (IPVA) is provided and the six stages of IPVA are explained. A demonstration of using the presented method is provided via a case study. IPVA produced a thick, rich, and unique description of a meaningful moment, which occurred between a music therapist and a client who has profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. As this is the first study that has used video data for IPA, it provides fresh knowledge and insight to those who are interested in IPA, hermeneutic analysis, and/or video microanalysis in both fields of music therapy and phenomenology.
