Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Participants will improve their ability to utilize writing as a way to express themselves and achieve personal therapeutic goals. A final Five Minute Paper from each participant and feedback from key individuals regarding skill development by participant and any progress on treatment goals. 2: Fraser staff will learn how to incorporate literary arts into existing recreational program offerings for adults. The Fraser project team will use feedback from staff and participants to plan future literary arts experiences in existing recreational program offerings.

Measurable Outcome(s)

Music Therapy at Fraser School helped create smoother transitions for children with special needs. In order to get an entire classroom to line up and walk down the hall or transition from one activity to the next, Fraser Music Therapy staff utilized a simple song to ensure all children can transition easier. 2: Music Therapy at Fraser School enhanced academic skills in all children. The activities fully achieved the proposed outcomes.
