I am the mom of two boys...Thanks for these videos. I am the mom of two boys with autism, I also teacher piano fulltime. A lot of kids on the spectrum can be taught quite the same as neurotypical kids. <br /><br />There is a great piano program out there for those teachers who might be approached by parents especially if their child is moderate to low functioning. Even if you cannot take on such a student, it's a good resource to give these parents. It's called The Young Method. I am not affiliated with the program. I just happen to know a lot of parents of kids with special needs. The link is http://www.innovativepiano.com/The-Young-Method-Series.html<br /><br />I have been working with a little guy and we are making some progress. We'll aim for Carnegie Hall, but will be ok playing for Grandma too! :o) Thanks again for this post! Love your blog.Michelle (mom/teacher of two boys with ASDnoreply@blogger.com
