The use of music therapy in pediatric care not only provides therapeutic benefits but also serves as a tool for creative expression, play, and cultural participation, fostering a holistic approach to children’s health. The chapter discusses how music therapy can be used to advocate for its inclusion in medical contexts, promoting its role in enhancing the overall well-being of children and adolescents.
