In a few weeks, the doors will open again for the The Attention & Perception E-Course, a brand new course launched last October. I'm thrilled with how many people are enjoying the course and finding the information not only useful, but interesting and enjoyable too (that certainly helps when it's a 5-hour course)! When she [...]
Many of the music therapists and educators who enrolled in the Tune In To Teens E-Course and The Attention & Perception E-Course have expressed their need for more resources and support for their work with school-age and teen clients. With that in mind, I created some Add-On Packages that go hand-in-hand with both E-Courses. These [...]
We're coming up on nine months being in pandemic/quarantine/virtual services mode and I don't know about you, but I've really had to stretch my creativity these past few months. If you're like me, you've completely revamped your clinical practice. You now need ideas that will engage your clients across a plexiglass shield. Or you need [...]
Two weeks ago, I launched The Attention & Perception E-Course, a course I am exceptionally proud of. It's about 10 years in the making, considering I started filming some of the technique demonstrations while working at United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) Miami back in 2010. I'm thrilled by how many people have joined the course and [...]
Last week, I launched The Attention & Perception E-Course. It was a huge project that took years to finally come together (since it involved filming more than 30 demonstration videos). Throughout the course creation process, I was knee-deep in attention and perception techniques. I spent time looking through old files and session plans to remember [...]
When I first came up with the idea for creating The Attention & Perception E-Course, never in a million years did I think 2020, the year of the pandemic, would be the year I would complete it. Between completely revamping my business to offer virtual services, homeschooling my 3-year-old, and being a virtual learning parent to [...]
When it comes to putting out new offerings and resources, things have been a little slower than I would have liked. I love making resources for music therapists and educators, and sharing my knowledge. It's creative and fun, and one of my favorite things to do. But, for the past few months, we've all in [...]
"Halloween-themed attention & perception training exercises." Kind of a mouthful, isn't it? That'a just a fancy way of saying that we're going to use Halloween songs to work on attention and perception skills (like listening and following directions). Here's an idea that can be used with clients of all ages: Play a spooky Halloween song [...]
Lately, I've been working a lot of cognitive interventions into my sessions, particularly those that are targeted towards improving attention skills. So today I thought I'd do a roundup of all the posts I've created that target cognitive skills. Arousal orientation, localization, auditory perception skills, alternating attention - I cover it all. I thought maybe [...]
It's been a while since I've been on the blog to write! My family went on a Spring Break trip at the end of March (to St. Pete Beach and to see "real" mermaids at Weeki Wachee Springs!) and I've been playing catch up ever since we returned. But, I am very happy to be [...]
