Introduction
Communication without words—that is, music. In this workshop, sounds and musical instruments help kids free up their emotions and develop their social skills.
The workshop includes specially designed musical activities that are adapted to the particular needs and skills of the children taking part. Kids come into creative contact with musical sounds and get to know the various musical instruments. Music is thus used as a means for communication and interaction, with special emphasis given to the development of non-verbal communication skills.
The aim is for kids belonging to the broad spectrum of autism to get an experience of teamwork and become part of a team, thus giving free rein to their creativity.
