Autism and the Power of Music

A New Approach to Help Your Child Connect and Communicate

Beschreibung

Presents new ways for you and your child to connect. One of those ways is through music. For a child with autism, music and language may be processed in the same hemisphere of the brain, so a musical experience may help a child who has difficulty with language more easily access that language.

Autor

Yasmine L. White has been a board-certified music therapist for nearly three decades. She has devoted most of her career to working with children, teens, and adults with autism and their parents. She founded Voices Together in 2006 and serves as its CEO. She developed the proprietary VOICSSâ (Vocal Interactive Communication and Social Strategies) program model, which is currently offered in school and community-based groups through Voices Together. Three research studies conducted in partnership with Duke University found that VOICSSâ resulted insignificant improvement in the area of language, communication, and social/emotional learning. White is co-author of two published academic journal articles with Duke University that resulted from these studies. Sonia Belasco has spent much of her professional life working with young people as a mentor, tutor, and therapist. She holds an M.S.W. from Bryn Mawr Graduate School of Social Work and an M.F.A. in Writing from California College of the Arts and loves fusing these two fields by generating accessible content themed around creativity, social-emotional learning, and therapy.
