Narrative

Most children with disabilities live at home with their parents or other close relatives. These programs are designed for this population, supporting quality of life for both the children and their families.

Virtual Music Programs:

  • Musical Book Club is available via Zoom to children with disabilities to help them develop and deepen friendships through literature, music, and movement. Participants read books and poetry, tell jokes, share stories, learn ASL signs, and sing and dance.
