Arts Infused Teaching Techniques
Helping Learners with Autism Succeed in Performing Arts
Before I became a teacher, I was a professional singer. My decision to embark on a Music Education career coincided with my oldest son's diagnosis of autism. I noticed that, like me, he is a highly sensitive pattern thinker. Music and movement help him to not only memorize information, but also to recall it later. My younger boy is neurotypical, and another music lover! His strengths in language and reading have allowed me to deepen my understanding of the way music can develop vocabulary and enhance communication skills. When asked to join the Arts Infusion Team with the Shelby County School system of Tennessee, I was delighted! The chance to undergo high quality professional development on brain-based learning techniques that combine music, movement, drama, and visual art has had a spectacular effect on both my professional and personal life. I am passionate about teaching that "levels the playing field" for all learners, while celebrating individual differences. I hope you find something here that helps you bring out the best in the kids in your life!
