July 22, 2011 - The Musical Autist

My guest this week is Christy Joy Diachenko, who has 15 years experience as a classical piano teacher. She received her Bachelors of Music from Colorado State University-Pueblo, in 2003. She is currently a graduate student for Music Therapy Board Certification, at Shenandoah University. She has 4 years experience in Anne Arundel County Public Schools, in both music and special education departments, and is currently a home/hospital teacher for some of AA County's most medically-fragile kiddos. She is the founder of the Musical Autist Academy, a place where children on the autism spectrum can learn and engage in music, to help fulfill their IEP goals, as well as to promote opportunities for performance. She blogs at The Musical Autist.

Thank you for having Christy Joy Diachenko on your show today! She is an amazing young woman with a mission that will change the world. I work with special needs kiddos some of whom are on the autism spectrum.I have been to one of her concerts and was blessed by the opportunity for the autism community. I will definitely be telling my clients about these concerts!
