March 6, 2010 - Resources

The show is off hiatus this week with a new show. This week I'm going to share resources I find useful. Here are a few of them:

Time for Music by Music Therapist Wade Richards and his blog Blog Beat. His blog gives tips, videos, and original songs for use in music therapy sessions, music education classes, or general education classes. I found this post particularly helpful this week.

FAQAutism.com is another resource I use frequently. Cathy Knoll, another music therapist, offers free daily podcasts or emails, toolkits, and even Vodcasts providing short, digestible tips and practical ideas to enhance life quality for people with autism.

Sensory Nanny Kim McVean is not only a mother of twin boys with autism, but also an Occupational Therapist. She provides
calm, clear advice on helping people with sensory processing disorders and has her own Blog Talk Radio show on Fridays so that you can call and ask questions about sensory processing.

Listen to this week's show for more about these resources and other information about what I use in my practice.

Hi Janice, Thanks for sharing! How was the SWAMTA conference?

For song resources, I like MoreWithMusic.org and ListenLearnMusic.com, both with free songs for music therapists.

Thanks for listening! and for commenting, too.

Kat, those are great resources. I'll have to add them to my list.
