Alice's first meeting with autistic child

 

  Teacher Alison Milano smiles, watching the positive reaction from

this autistic student, "This is the first time he has ever sat down and

participated in anything.  Normally he continually walks around by himself, not unhappy just in his own little world."

Alice held her second Vocal Toning for kidz group, meeting this gentle soul for the first time. "Every now and then he glanced over at us making our vowel sounds.  When we were done with our vocal toning I brought out the instruments and invited him to join us. He was completely connecting with us, listening attentively to instructions on how to play the different bowls. The Tibetan & crystal bowls must be played softly, and he played them just right!  Then I gave him the drum and encouraged him to play as loudly as he wished.  What a grand time he had. 

He took my hand, made eye contact and was just beaming while I showed him how to play the different instruments.  I look forward to continuing vocal toning and sound healing with him and the other children and welcome more children to join us."

In our second group toning session he participated in the entire session along with three other children.  We had a great time together.

 

In each session there was a noticeable improvement with the children.
