This six-hour online course is for in-service general music teachers who are looking for philosophy, language, tools, and activities to support their work with students with disabilities including autism.
Music Therapist Jen Kass (MA, MT-BC) and Medley Director Jessica Corwin will give participants tools to bring to their classrooms for accommodation, meaningful inclusion, joyful music-making, and social connection. Topics will include anti-ableist language, neurodivergence-affirming practices, current research on autism, learning differences and corresponding teaching strategies, and the imperative of listening to neurodivergent voices.
Participants will engage in a variety of sample classroom activities that can be replicated in their own classrooms. This course will provide notation, lyrics, chords, and ready-to-print supporting choice boards and visuals for these activities.
