Connect and Communicate With Your Child
As any parent of a child with autism understands, helping your child can be overwhelming. Autism and the Power of Music help parents discover insightful and practical ways to connect with their child through music, unlocking language in a new way.
Music therapist Yasmine White shares insights developed over decades of working with children, teens, and adults on the autism spectrum, both in private practice and as founder of Voices Together, a non-profit music therapy organization that brings effective techniques to schools across North Carolina. The techniques featured in this book are designed to bring back the joy of connection, motivation, and understanding that those on the spectrum need to grow.
"I ask parents to see the child first and recognize that behavior may be the only way they can express their frustration. Finding ways to offer language will help them express themselves and will help defuse the behaviors. For many, music can engage the brain in a new way, a unique way. Music is their language - it unlocks communication and connects people in a remarkable way." — Yasmine White
