Hi,
Don't know if you remember me, I'm a music therapist from Australia, interested in working with children who are deaf and hard of hearing. I emailed you a little while ago.
I found yet another article you may be interested in reading, or using to support your argument for including Music Therapy in rehabilitation

To sum up, a Music Therapist in ISrael working with children with CIs found that spontaneous communication was more frequent and prolonged when music was used. Sounds like a pretty good case to me!
By the way, in your email you suggested I contact Chris Barton - thanks. I contacted her about a talk I'm planning to give at a conference here in Australia and she was very helpful.
Keep up the great work with Lily. She seems like a constant delight.

[Music and its effects]

I would say music can do anything, whenever I feel low or stressed I listen to the music and I feel better.
