How We Champion Music Therapy at the Federal Level

Federal policies and regulations directly impact the music therapy profession, influencing everything from healthcare funding to educational standards. At AMTA, we ensure your voice is heard by decision-makers in Washington, D.C. We work to build relationships, track legislation, and advocate for policies that expand access to quality music therapy services for all.

Our Government Relations team serves the music therapy community by representing your interests with legislators, federal agencies, and national healthcare organizations.

Tracking Legislation

We monitor federal legislative and regulatory activities that impact music therapy practice by tracking actions and decisions related to healthcare, special education service access, professional education issues, and research funding.

Building Relationships

We connect with members of Congress and their staff, agency officials, and third-party payers to promote the value of music therapy and support access to services.

Representing the Profession

We represent music therapy by actively participating in several national coalitions. Through this involvement, we align our efforts with broader healthcare and education initiatives to amplify our impact.
