ONLINE Intro to Adaptive Music Education

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. This course will meet on October 1st, 8th and 15th from 7 to 9 pm Eastern time. Asynchronous participation through video recording is available.

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.
