KATHLEEN ROONEY

For the preschool and primary age Kathleen has developed a program called Music and Neurodevelopment Circle which provides an opportunity for the children to practice language and listening skills, social skills, gross and fine motor skills as well as work on sensory processing issues in a very motivating music and sensory filled circle. Experience has taught her that the education of children with autism and special needs is a challenge for the children themselves, as well as, their teachers and parents. Her experience as a teacher in a school system, a private clinician, a workshop provider for parents and teachers, and a program originator have allowed her an in depth understanding of the learning styles and needs of her students in an educational setting. She is comfortable with all children whatever their diagnosis... Kathleen has a combination of Special Education, Music Therapy and Sensory Integration which gives her a thorough repertoire of techniques to motivate and educate..
