* Ongoing Clinical Recommendations: Documenting evidence-based recommendations for ongoing therapy frequency, goal updates, or multidisciplinary strategies.
* Life Transition Assessments: Providing written evidence regarding therapy needs as a child reaches developmental milestones, enters school, or transitions out of early childhood supports.

Provider & Delivery Requirements
* Qualifications: Authored by a Registered Music Therapist (RMT) holding an accredited degree and registered with the Australian Music Therapy Association.
* Formal NDIA Request: Claimable when the NDIA explicitly asks for an assessment or progress report to evaluate funding criteria and participant outcomes.
