My Project

New to our school this year are three ASD, and autism, classes. These students have a wide range of abilities and functions. After some research and speaking with professional behavioral analysts, I have some instruments that would be wonderful additions to my music room.

Help me give my autistic students sensory musical instruments.

Instruments that can light up, feel different to the touch, and color matching for creating songs. By creating different stations, I can keep all students involved in our music lessons. These instruments can help to bridge the gap in the individual student’s capabilities.
