This fun & engaging tutorial from Ann Lehman and Janet Andrews is a fabulous opportunity to watch two expert clinicians share their wisdom and knowledge working with children with autism for many years.
Ann & Janet run highly engaging sessions full of creativity and fun, and in this tutorial they share with you their methods, session plans and best props and ideas.
Focussing on school-age children with autism Ann & Janet discuss a variety of musical and visual techniques for bringing fun and creativity into your sessions. Addressing a wide range of goals they discuss how humour is not only fun, it also works very well to reduce anxiety and rehearse coping with the unexpected - a key area of need for autistic children.
Ann & Janet discuss lyric substitution, incongruity and exaggeration and useful tools to increase creativity. They also discuss bringing fun and the unexpected into movement activities and how to use a range of music-based techniques to build suspense, increase tolerance for change and encourage laughter and engagement.
The tutorial also includes Janet & Ann’s tips for useful props and activity ideas which you can adapt to your own clinical work. The tutorial closes with 3 bonus content activities to extend your learning or earn extra CMTE/CPPD credits.
