Autism – Early Communication and Musical Communication

About this action packed one hour session:

Do you have a child that is at the early stages of communication?

Are they are non-verbal and have not yet developed any spoken words?

Does your child appear uninterested in the world and prefers to be on their own?

This session explores the Autism Profile and behaviours that are commonly seen with children in the early stages of communication. A demonstration of musical communication is given supporting participants to understand how these ideas can be used in practice so that this intervention can be implemented in both school and home settings.
