I have worked with students who are blind, dyslexic students, students with multiple sclerosis and cerebral palsy, students all over the autism spectrum, etc.
The piano is the most user-friendly instrument for these special people, because it requires the least amount of dexterity to produce a musical sound.
I LOVE working with these special people. As far as payment, I have collaborated with the student directly, and I have also worked with various support agencies in New Jersey to reach them. Some of them bill the DDD for my time under “goods and services,” and some agencies are “released” so they pay me directly. I am currently connecting with more agencies that service Hudson County.
I would love to hear from you if you are/have/know a special needs person who would be interested in spending some time with the piano. Thank you very much!
