Two groups participated in the 18 month project. One was a group of 3 - 5 year olds with varying language delay. The second group involved young children with autism and ADD.
Using a fixed template of varied musical activities the two group were encouraged to develop mini-stories using sound, song, musical engagement and thematic adventure. The overall aim was to nurture vocalising and language through musical learning. For the most part this was achieved within 20 sessions of approximately 30 minutes for each group.
The outcomes demonstrated the positive input that music can play in developing a child's language, sociable skills and life learning if appropriate offered, with interesting and varied resources throughout.
