MTGIC began a training program in 2008 as a result of a munificent grant in partnership with Orange Grove Center of Chattanooga.  Participants receive training in the utilization of the neuro music protocols.  Training formats are available for both professional therapists (PT, OT, SLP, etc.) and also parents/educators needing a shorter and less scientific format.  A typical three day intensive session for therapy professionals will contain a program such as follows.
