Various behaviours and concepts can be taught through music, improving both social behaviour and eventually learning ability. Rhythmic movement to music can also improve physical health and music can have a calming influence in stressful situations.

Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations Individuals with adult-onset muscular dystrophies do not die from the disease but have progressive loss of occupational performance (OP) and quality of life. There is no consistent pathway for referral and access to rehab services. OTs are under-used, even though the greatest need is improvement in OP. The lack of guidelines makes outcomes inconsistent. To work, gene therapies require muscle bulk. OTs may train clients in muscle protection to maintain muscle, giving them a chance at a cure.
