What is the SEMTAP?

The Special Education Music Therapy Assessment Process (SEMTAP) is a criterion-referenced assessment with the objective to show how a student performans specific IEP skills with and without the context of music therapy strategies.  The SEMTAP involves interviewing team members, student observations, music therapy assessment sessions and preparation of the report and documentation. 

Music Therapists:
Lumina Music Therapy offers an unbiased approach to conduct the SEMTAP assessment for school aged students.  As stated in the SEMTAP Handbook, "it is our strong recommendation that a student's private music therapist NOT participate directly in the IEP meeting, nor offer his or her services for the assessment."  Please refer your IEP team member to Lumina Music Therapy at luminamusictherapy@gmail.com for more information and costs.
