"Yasmine'semphasis on social communication, emotional regulation, and supportive relationshipsembodies the most effective, cutting-edge approaches for supporting autisticindividuals. Autism and The Power of Music is a much-needed resource forparents to connect with their children through music and will also be embracedby educators and clinicians who wish to infuse joyful learning experiences intheir work."--Barry M. Prizant, CCC-SLP, Brown University and author of Uniquely Human: ADifferent Way of Seeing Autism Musictherapist Yasmine White shares the insights she's developed after decades ofworking with children, teens and adults on the autism spectrum, both in privatepractice and as founder of Voices Together, a non-profit music therapyorganization that brings her effective techniques to schools across NorthCarolina. The techniques featured in this book are designed to bring back theconnection of joy, motivation, and understanding that everyone needs in orderto truly grow. Asany parent of a child with autism understands, sometimes helping your child canfeel overwhelmingly hard. Autism and the Power of Music helps findinsightful, practical new ways for you and your child to connect through music, even when it feels difficult. Because music and language may be processed inthe same hemisphere of the brain in children on the spectrum, the techniques inthis book can help unlock language in an entirely new way. Music becomes abridge to help children access language in ways other approaches cannot. AsDr. Terri L. Shelton says in her foreword, "To have an interaction that isaffirming, fun, and successful, that builds on the child's strengths andpreferences and enhances their interest in engaging and ability to sustain thatengagement increases the chance that all other encounters, whether with theirfriends, their families, or with therapists and teachers, will be successful."
