Embracing Neurodiversity

A Sensory Perspective in the Classroom and Concert Hall

Created in partnership with Children’s Illinois, BJC HealthCare. 

Thu, Nov 14, 5:00-7:00pm 

This workshop takes place at Metro Theater Company. 

Music teachers can be powerful allies for neurodivergent students in their school communities. Guided by occupational therapist Monica Carlson from BJC HealthCare, we’ll deepen our understanding of sensory processing and sensory sensitivities. We’ll explore options to support sensory processing differences both in the music classroom and in the concert hall and we’ll discover ways to adapt musical activities in our school communities.
