Barry M. Prizant, CCC-SLP, Brown University and author of Uniquely Human: A
Different Way of Seeing Autism
Music
therapist Yasmine White shares the insights she's developed after 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 her effective techniques to schools across North
Carolina. The techniques featured in this book are designed to bring back the
connection of joy, motivation, and understanding that everyone needs in order
to truly grow.
As
any parent of a child with autism understands, sometimes helping your child can
feel overwhelmingly hard. Autism and the Power of Music helps find
insightful, practical new ways for you and your child to connect through music,
even when it feels difficult. Because music and language may be processed in
the same hemisphere of the brain in children on the spectrum, the techniques in
this book can help unlock language in an entirely new way. Music becomes a
bridge to help children access language in ways other approaches cannot.
As
Dr. Terri L. Shelton says in her foreword, "To have an interaction that is
affirming, fun, and successful, that builds on the child's strengths and
preferences and enhances their interest in engaging and ability to sustain that
engagement increases the chance that all other encounters, whether with their
friends, their families, or with therapists and teachers, will be successful."
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.
White, Yasmine: -Yasmine 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 in
significant 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.
