April is Autism Awareness Month!
I know it’s the end of April already, and I apologize. But things like this slip my mind because Emma isn’t diagnosed with autism. But, as I’ve explained before, she definitely has characteristics on the spectrum. So autism does and will always hold a special place in my heart. Emma has been on a waiting list on and off for music therapy for years. And, in fact, I have a name of a new lady that I need to call. After watching this video, calling her will be on the top of my priority list. Emma responds really well to music. She’s always loved it. Perhaps it’s in the blood…she loves to watch me play the piano (for about 38 seconds before she takes over the keyboard). But many kids on the spectrum respond really well to music therapy. Check out this video that I found on Dear cjane….I love this.
That’s so cool Jess! Wow. How inspirational. Thanks for sharing.
I believe in the power of music!!!!!
Emily after 3 1/2 years is finally graduating from her behavior program, it was supposed to be a 1 yr program.. Like most things it took her a little longer than the average bear.
The one positive in this is that it frees her up to be able to start Music Therapy. I cannot wait to get her signed up. It is a little bit pricey… but I will find the money in my budget somehow…
