As the global Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic transforms our society,
music therapists must adapt service delivery models that ensure client safety.
Given the prevalence of COVID-19 in our communities and lack of personal
protective equipment in many settings, music therapists are faced with the need
to shift delivery models in order to provide safe and relevant services.
Telehealth is one solution to these current service delivery challenges. Music
therapists possess a depth of practice-based knowledge and understanding of
client populations, which enables them to develop virtual services, matching both
the clinicians? and clients? technical capabilities. Developed during the initial
wave of COVID-19 infections in the United States, this article describes the
coauthors? three-tiered scaffold model intended to support the program
development and deployment of virtual music therapy (VMT) services. The model
describes an approach to developing VMT services that directs the clinician?s
goals of care in formats that are accessible, appropriate, and best meet the
patient/client?s needs and abilities. The severity and lasting nature of this
worldwide health crisis and its disruption of traditional service delivery models
require clinicians and researchers to develop the most effective uses of VMT
while considering its limits with regard to clinical populations and need areas.
