SUMMARY:Grant Event -- Autism\, Neurodiversity\, and Music
DESCRIPTION:Presenting District: Linn-Benton\nPresenter: Emily Ross\nLocation: Please contact Mary Ann Guenther\, NCTM\nProgram Description: In 2021\, the CDC reported that approximately 1 in 44 children in the U.S. is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder. But what exactly is autism? What is meant by “spectrum” and is it really a disorder? In this workshop we will learn about the history of the autism diagnosis\, how and why so many autistic individuals are drawn to music\, and how a private music teacher can reach and teach the autistic music student. We will also cover the Neurodiversity movement\, the nuance of language regarding disability and human dignity\, and specific strategies for adapting lessons for the autistic learner. \nAbout Emily Ross: Emily Ross holds a Bachelor of Music Education from University of Colorado and a Master’s in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in music therapy from Naropa University. Her teaching experience includes public school band and general music (7 yrs)\, English as a Foreign Language (2 yrs) and university courses in music therapy and psychology (15 yrs). Additionally\, Emily has taught private lessons in guitar\, and French horn\, and trained and supervised practicum students in the field.  She is the owner of HoofnHorn Music Therapy Studio\, hnhmusictherapy.com\, where she specializes in connecting with those with learning differences including autism\, ADHD\, and developmental delay. She also offers trainings throughout Oregon and SW Washington. Information about trainings and workshops for music therapists\, teachers and parents can be found at EmilyRossTrainer.com. Emily played French horn in the Portland Wind Symphony for 18 years and is now enjoying learning Celtic harp and singing in the Portland Community Choir.
