Did you make up the song as you went? How does he know what to say did you prompt him before hand?

Oh my god this is so touching it made me tear up As a musician wanting to study social work, I find it incredibly motivating and inspiring to connect social change with self expression and arts I can feel that resounding yes within!

Watching this while feeling sad changes everything I see things clearly better and feel a lot hopeful that everything will be okay in the end That's how your interactions with the kids in the video made me feel or your work in general Thank you in behalf of the children you have helped

I love your videos I'm a music teacher in the public school and have been asked to teach a music class for students with autism I do not have a music therapy degree I've been watching everything I can and reading up on my kids I want to be able to make their musical experience personal and enjoyable Do you have more videos?

That kid has a good ear He sings notes in the chords being played most of the time!

What about bringing in your own instruments? I have ocarinas They are unique wind instruments that make beautiful sounds Check out channels like STL Ocarina for sound samples

Hi Ryan my son is 2 and he just got diagnosed in the spectrum few days ago For how mild i see his symptoms the biggest one is delay in speech I love music so much and believe so much in what you are doing I have music on pretty much all my day in some way and my baby loves it too because he basically grew up with itbrFor some reason this child reminds me of him so much even if he’s older I cried so much watching this video, but it wasn’t anger or sadness, it was kind of joy and hope in seeing the connection you created with himbrI play guitar myself and a little harmonica I would love to help Lorenzo (my baby) even if I am not a professional therapist I feel deep that music for him is going to be a huge tool brI just don’t want to do wrong things and make things worse somehow if that even a possibility How do you I can approach Lorenzo should be bilingual I speak to him in Italian and my wife in English but I don’t know if I should sing in Italian to him or any song is ok and sound is what really mattersbrThank you again for your value and time

Comment from : @thanksvdonna

Hi Ryan, I'm so happy I found your channel, I'm a therapist and work with children with Autism, however, I do not know how to play an instrument Would it be a similar result if I sing or use other instruments so they can play with it? or play music on my laptop and sing along? What skills do you think I can use?
Comment from : @Adrianado4

wow that's amazing! 😃
Comment from : @warriorsforjesus2308

Hi Ryan I am so moved by the therapy work you do! I am trying to brush up my guitar skills, can you tell me how you use open chords on Guitar? And would you say open chords are most effective for accompanying children with learning disabilities?
Comment from : @dinicutler8692

Beautiful to watch the opening up of a child, and the sensitivity required to do that!
Comment from : @lezaboyland8998

Oh one more thing, what chords are you playing? sounds awesome!
Comment from : @malkaedery1500

As an autistic adult who has found help in my ability to play the piano, I can say with confidence that music is the most helpful thing for people with special needs It provides a release of frustrations, sadness, joy, what have you in a constructive and often beautiful way I have had times when I've played a piano in an area with people around me, and I just get so into it that I don't notice the crowd forming around me listening to my playing until I'm done playing I encourage people to teach special needs kids to play an instrument It can be any instrument So long as it can make music and provide a constructive release This video makes me smile because I can relate to this kid I don't think I was ever this level of autism I'm pretty mild However, the fact remains that this medium is, in my opinion, the most therapeutic and positive way to help these kids with their struggles

This reminds me why I love music at the first place Music is unite us and a very good communication media Wish you all the best of luck!
Comment from : @mcglitter07

This video is very wonderful! It inspires me to pursue taking music therapy I am currently a music education student in the philippines I can relate the struggles on what an autistic people go through in their lives because my loved one has autism and so is my cousin And its very heart warming because whenever my cousin is at my house ill just play the violin , piano or the banduria and he will come near to me and smile :) this will help me in the future to help
