Over the past few weeks, I've shared how I use pop songs in a therapeutic way with my middle and high school students: To practice affirmations through rap with Bow Wizzle. To work on attention and perception skills using songs by Imagine Dragons and OneRepublic. To move and groove using songs by BTS and AJR. [...]
Have you ever had a time when you were going along, leading your session, and suddenly realized that things were totally out of control?

Today I’m going to shine a spotlight [...]

Do you wonder what auditory perception techniques even are?? Fear not, I will explain everything here. Last year, I created a new online course called The Attention & Perception [...]
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.
