Circle of Girls - Music Discovery Event to
Offer Unique Sensory Experience
Some research reveals that people with Autism Spectrum Disor
der (ASD) benefit from music therapy and respond well to exposure
to music. Increased social interactions, improved behavior and com
munication are among outcomes revealed in studies. Seeking to ex
plore the power of music, My Circle of GirlsNC has partnered with
Kindermusik for a June 2016 event for the group for girls living with
autism in the Triangle and beyond.
Attendees will have an opportunity to be involved in group activi
ties and express themselves through music at the upcoming event.
According to kindermusik.com, Kindermusik believes in whole-
child development. The approach, focused on offering “thoughtfully
integrated sequences of activities that set the stage for optimal, multi-
sensory learning,” will be used to craft the Music and Me session
scheduled for Sat., June 11, from 10-11:30 a.m., in Durham.
Girls living with ASD seeking an opportunity to express them
selves through music will have the chance at the upcoming session.
Girls, ages 2-11, are invited to register for Music and Me by emailing
mycircleofgirls@gmail.com. Details about the event will be given
once the participant is registered. The registration deadline is June 7.
