Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find the relevance of the items within a self-made assessment scale, called Assessment Scale for Cerebral Palsy (ASCP), built to observe the interactive response of a small group of people with severe Cerebral Palsy Therapy in a Music Therapy treatment. In order to achieve that goal, different assessment scales in Music Therapy with Cerebral Palsy (CP) and other pathologies with similar limitations have been reviewed, and their items have been compared with those of ASCP scale. The qualitative data analysis used provided some common and significant items (17/32) to observe changes in the interactive response in CP. There is also a reflection on the relevance or not of others, initially considered in ASCP scale, and potential perspectives to expand its relevance. Keywords: Music Therapy, Cerebral Palsy, Assessment Scale for Cerebral Palsy, Interaction, Intentional Response, Comparison Scales.
