Music Therapy for Special Needs

Redwood Heights Elementary School’s special needs students worked with a Board-Certified Music Therapist to develop students communication skills through student composed songs using signing, symbol systems and adaptive equipment such as electronic “talkers.”

The Technology and Augmentative Communication for Learning Enhancement (T.A.C.L.E.) program serves students with severe speech and/or physical impairments often caused by acute verbal apraxia, autism, cerebral palsy, chromosomal abnormality, or other cortical impairments.
