Speaking for Ourselves: Conversations on Life, Music, and Autism
Since the advent of autism as a diagnosed condition in the 1940s, the importance of music in the lives of autistic people has been widely observed and studied. Articles on musical savants, extraordinary feats of musical memory, unusually high rates of absolute or perfect pitch, and the effectiveness of music-based therapies abound in the autism literature. Meanwhile, music scholars and historians have posited autism-centered explanatory models to account for the unique musical artistry of everyone from BĂ©la BartĂłk and Glenn Gould to Blind Tom Wiggins. Given the great deal of attention paid to music and autism, it is surprising to discover that autistic people have rarely been asked to account for how they themselves make and experience music or why it matters to them that they do. In Speaking for Ourselves, renowned ethnomusicologist Michael Bakan does just that, engaging in deep conversations--some spanning the course of years--with ten fascinating and very different individuals who s
A Sensory Approach to Experience Taste, Texture, & Develop Oral-Motor Control
"A Sensory Approach to Experience Taste, Texture, & Develop Oral-Motor Control Many children have significant mealtime difficulties that often impact the whole family. Being called a “fussy eater” may not truly cover the real challenges that some children experience when it comes to eating.

When we start to talk about mealtime issues that a child may be having, we need to look at how a child is processing and interpreting sensory information. Each child is different, although most parents and caregivers’ express similar areas where they and the child needs support and guidance. For many adults, when it
