Answer 6

APIE, SOAP, DAP, & DART Remember: A PIE SOAP DAP DART Use APIE for formal reporting (e.g., initial assessments, progress reviews). Assessment: Gather and document client information, needs, and goals (e.g., through observation, interviews, and assessments). Plan: Develop objectives, therapeutic goals, and a treatment plan based on the assessment findings. Intervention: Detail the specific music therapy interventions implemented during the session. Evaluation: Reflect on the client's progress, the effectiveness of the intervention, and any modifications needed. Use SOAP when collaborating with multidisciplinary teams or in medical contexts. Subjective: Information about the client, including diagnosis, history, and any other self-reported information. Objective: What the clinician observes (something measurable), and can include what interventions were performed Assessment: In medical settings, this is where the diagnosis is determined. For music therapy purposes, this can include what interventions were performed, and perhaps how successful the client was in reaching their goals in those interventions. Plan: What to do next; revision of goals. You can Use DAP as an alternative to SOAP. > Data: This section includes objective observations and subjective reports about the client during the session. - Objective observations: What you, as the therapist, observed. This could include behaviors, actions, physiological responses, or verbal/non-verbal expressions. - Subjective reports: What the client or caregiver said or expressed about their experience, feelings, or concerns. > Assessment: analysis of the session data.

Focus on how the client’s actions relate to their goals or needs. >Plan: This section outlines the next steps or treatment goals for the client based on the assessment. Include what will be addressed in upcoming sessions, adjustments to interventions, or long-term goals. Use DART for session logs, especially when client responses are critical. Description: Record objective details about the session (e.g., setting, activities, client behaviors). Assessment: Analyze what occurred in the session, linking observations to therapeutic goals. Response: Document the client’s response to the interventions Treatment: Plan the next steps or modifications based on the session outcomes.
