This episode is a follow-up from Episode 2, where we went deep into the science of NMT. This time the ladies dive into application aspects of Neurologic Music Therapy (NMT), with an emphasis on working with neurodevelopmental differences and diagnoses. Peggy answers questions and illustrates how NMT can address the complex needs of these populations. She also informs us that she is still at odds with her new-found "love" of video games, and continues to be slaughtered by Firewatch's log boss. We continue to shake our fists at the audio goddesses, as Jayme's microphone features an echo.
