We are thrilled to announce that the Cambridge Institute of Music Therapy will be running a research project for children with Batten disease this year.

Funded by the Worshipful Company of Musicians, Dr. Rebecca Atkinson will be interviewing parents about what music means to their child.

This research feeds into a wider project looking into the impact of music therapy for children with Battens, and there will also be immersive performances set up this year, from young artists in and around London.

If you would like to take part in an interview online, please contact Rebecca on Rebecca.atkinson@aru.ac.uk
