Music Advocacy Facts
Music can help children with disabilities attain their IEP (Individualized Education Plan) goals. While singing, moving, listening, and creating music children must: learn different academic concepts, cooperate and interact in a socially appropriate manner, communicate, and utilize gross and fine motor skills. In the process of learning music, children also gain self confidence and increase their self-esteem.
