Temple Grandin: The Movie

February 9, 2010

I first read about Temple Grandin during my music therapy internship several years ago, and I was completely fascinated.  The way she was able to describe her autism, and the way her brain worked, was completely unique and as far as I knew, unheard of.  I have since learned a lot more about Temple Grandin, [...]

People You Do & Don’t Know

February 8, 2010

I very distinctly remember my mom sitting my brother and I down and telling us all about stranger danger.  She explained who we could trust to stay with us, take us places, and even made up a code word for adults to let us know that it was okay to go with them in the [...]

Sunday Singalong: Making Friends

February 7, 2010

In today’s video, I’m singing “Making Friends” – a song I recently wrote for a class at The Hope Institute. It was featured throughout the month of January in my music therapy sessions, and I already miss singing it now that February is here (along with all-new tunes). This has been the weekend of all-new [...]

Friday Fave: iPhone Apps

February 5, 2010

TGIF!  This week has absolutely flown, but luckily it has been an extremely productive one for me.  I’ve wrapped up several work-intensive projects, and am very much looking forward to relaxing a bit this weekend.  I am planning to spend some quality time with iMovie, creating a few videos just for Listen & Learn.  But [...]

The Feelings in My Heart

February 4, 2010

We talk a lot about love during February.  After all, it is the month in which we celebrate Valentine’s Day!  But what about all of those other feelings we experience on a daily basis? Recognizing, expressing, and regulating emotions are important skills for any child, including those with whom I work. I had this is [...]

Happy Groundhog Day!

February 2, 2010

If you’ve already had your fill of winter, then you’ll be disappointed to hear that Punxsutawney Phil did indeed see his shadow this morning.  I have most definitely had enough of this season, but I resigned myself long ago to the fact that the groundhog ALWAYS sees his shadow, and there will ALWAYS be six [...]

Sunday Singalong: The Leaves on the Trees

February 1, 2010

You can find the original post of this song, including lyrics, here. Tonight’s edition of “Sunday Singalong” goes out to a very special fan of mine: hi, Matthew! Matthew’s mom emailed me last week and told me that although her son has many Listen & Learn favorites, he responds to this particular tune with excitement [...]
