Music Heals: A Different Kind of Love Story

A friend passed this on to me from today's Huffington Post. Programs on the use of music helping those with autism yielded a lot of mail and requests for referrals and support a few years back. I want to continue to explore the power of music to, if not always heal, to at least open a door. Read An Alzheimer's Love Story: 'Please Wear a Tux' on the Huffington Post. PS If you'd like to hear our music therapy/autism programs, or you need a referral, please leave a note on this blog.
