Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you something that I am pretty excited about. You've heard me mention Autism Hangout before in past postings. Autism Hangout is a website created to provide support and resources for those in the autism community.
Craig Evans, a fellow musician and host to the Autism Hangout site, invited me to speak (via webinar) on Music Therapy and Autism. We did the webinar interview this morning, and he already has it posted on the site. The heading/title of the webinar is "Where Words Fail, Music Speaks".
It is a 10 minute webinar that touches on some introductory points about Music Therapy as it relates to ASD treatment. Craig and I have discussed plans for expansion of this, and look forward to creating a series of webinars under Music Therapy and Autism. These future webinars will give a little more in depth look at the use of music therapy techniques to support specific needs of a person on the spectrum (i.e. speech, development, supporting cognitive skill/concepts, sensory input/integration, social skill development, etc).
Thank you, Craig, for Autism Hangout as it is a wonderful resource, and thank you for allowing me to contribute!
