Teaching Music to Students With Autism Spectrum Disorder

Students with ASD are sometimes challenged by cognition, communication, and socialization. During this workshop, we will dive into the mind of students with ASD and learn about ways their brains are different from those who are neurotypical. This is an active workshop, so please dress accordingly
