Connections without words with a non verbal young man in Boise
I named my company Music Makes Connections for a reason. It is so exciting to be able to connect with somebody in a way that nothing else can. I have a nonverbal young man in a group that I work with. He has difficulty following verbal cues. Well, when working with recently I noticed that he began playing in perfect rhythm with me. I started changing the tempo, and watched as he was matching my changes perfectly. I have only been able to connect with him a little bit with words, but it was amazing to have a connection without words.
