- Combining music and movement can be highly engaging and motivating for a child with special needs
- Create personalized movement songs by putting your own words to a traditional melody such as "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain"
- Once you find a motivating music and movement activity, use it to help a child to learn and communicate
- Music and movement activities can be used to expand a child's use of language on an Alternative and Augmentative Communication Device
- You don't need to be a musician to use music to help children with special needs
