Many professionals want to understand how sensory processing influences behaviour and emotional regulation, especially when working with autistic clients, children and young people, or adults with neurological conditions.

One key idea from Emma’s Sensory Processing course is that our sensory systems develop into early adulthood and are shaped by experience, environment, and neurodiversity.

Music offers supportive sensory input through:

• grounding rhythm
• predictable repetition
• controlled auditory stimulation

Emma’s Sensory Processing course breaks down each sensory system, explains how they mature, and demonstrates how music therapists can apply this knowledge in everyday clinical work.

One of the biggest questions professionals ask is: “What outcome measure should I use in music therapy?”
Elizabeth’s course helps you find the answers.

There is no single perfect outcome measure. The most effective tool is the one that fits your client, your setting, and your clinical role. She introduces a helpful three-part framework:

• Relevance – Does the measure reflect the referral reason or therapeutic goal?
• Scope – Is it appropriate for your level of training, expertise, and role?
• Alignment – Does it match the outcome measures your organisation already uses?

This approach makes evidence-based practice more manageable and supports confident documentation of music therapy outcomes.

Alongside these courses, the Learning Space offers CPD for:

• Music Therapists
• educators
• care teams
• Allied Health Professionals
• families and carers

 Content includes sensory processing, outcome measures, music and the brain, neurodiversity, communication, and more - with new courses added regularly.
