Dis/Abling Musicking: Reflections on a Disability Studies Perspective in Music Therapy.

This theoretical paper aims to explore the role of a disability studies perspective in music therapy. Disability studies in context of music therapy is a field that is under development. I argue that a disability studies perspective both supports and challenges music therapy models, practice, and research. A disability studies perspective provides a theoretical framework for social justice and the appraisal of diversity, as well as it challenges attitudes and values. This paper suggests dialogues and collaboration between music therapy and disability studies.
