This is a little snippet from a regular speech session with a gestalt language processor (not even a Music-Directed Speech Therapy session with our board-certified music therapist, Kaelyn!). I'm not a music therapist, but I'm learning more everyday about how our GLPs respond and thrive with music in their intervention, and I'm getting more comfortable bringing music into practice thanks to both Kaelyn and @crescendo.communication. 

I'm really excited to continue learning more about how we can support our GLPs through music.

Fun fact: I sang in a children's 4-part choir for 8 years, and I wrote songs in my teen years. I'm having fun playing around and improvising in sessions - and hey, that's what stage 2 mitigation is all about!
