Liven up learning with the interactive songs on this music CD that are designed to give students hands-on practice in achieving common IEP goals. Different than typical recordings, these specialized songs include 10-30 seconds of response time aftter each instruction to accommodate for processing delays.
Music is a powerful multi-dimensional approach that is highly accessible for individuals with physical and cognitive challenges. Because music impacts physiological functioning on a variety of levels, it is an effective way to stimulate movement and help students become more alert, engaged, and excited about learning.
This volume was designed for students with orthopedic impairments such as cerebral palsy, Rett syndrome, Angleman syndrome, and related disorders. Note that in order for students to fully participate, selected songs are designed to be used in conjunction with basic rhythm instruments or a voice output device such as a BigMack(R) switch.
Skills addressed include cause & effect, visual tracking, augmentative communication, turn taking, grasp & release, functional motor skills, instrument play, and tactile exploration.
