I have two daughters who are in a contained classroom setting even though they do all specials with the mainstream children they are in classrooms with children of varying ages and learning disabilities.
I have worked with children since I was about 12 years old. Over the years I have taken care of children with learning disabilities as well as children with other issues such as coming from a broken home, single working parents trying to do the best they could for their children, and some with problems that needed specialists to help them throughout their lives.
Each of them holds a special place in my heart, memory, and even in my daily life because all those years later some of them still keep in touch with me. I love seeing their children, and how well they are doing in life. Their struggles, ups, downs, and all the way I know I was a part of their lives even if just for a short while.
I found out long ago that the best way to get children of varying ages ands learning curves to work together is by including music as well as art into everyday schedules. I believe it evens the field out because music has so many aspects from humming, rocking, singing, dancing, swaying, playing instruments etc, that there is something for everyone. You can hear music, feel music, and move to music.
Perfect for those who have learning disabilities and has been proven to help those who have music in their lives to do better in everyday situations from learning, relationships, and temperament. Even though this is slotted for Special Needs and Autism it can also be use in a home setting, professional setting, and even classrooms.
Bring a classroom of children together through music or just work one on one with any child to see a difference take shape right in front of your eyes.
You can find the Autism & Special Needs Music DVD and CD on Amazon.
