Thank you for posting that. I have a son with special needs, not autism. But he LOVES music, it has always touched his soul like nothing else can. These kids have special spirits. But I hold no one else in higher esteem as I do for those that work with my son. It is HARD work and they love him and cheer on every "inchstone" that he makes. It takes special people to be able to do it day in and day out.

This video brought me to tears! I am lucky enough to have been trusted with one of these great kids. My 6 year old Kyle was diognosed with Autism when he was 3 These kids are so special and the people who work with them are special too. Props to jammin Jen, she is awesome!

Thanks so much for posting this! Not many people are aware of the fact that April Is Autism Awareness Month, let alone dedicate to sharing it in their blog. My son was diagnosed with PDD-NOS, which in on the Spectrum, in January. It always amazes me to see the power that music has in not only my son's life, but other kids as well. Thanks so MUCH!
