It would be amazing if we had an interactive sound system to utilize during our school concerts and musical productions for our classes with special needs. Interpersonal interaction through music is one of the fundamental factors for successful inclusion in education for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders. In order to increase opportunities for interpersonal interactions among our students, an interactive sound system would allow our students to learn and perform popular and classic songs. Our students will learn about different genres of music including rock, pop, country, and hip hop. Visual and auditory aids through the use of music help these children to be aware of social cues, a behavior that is considered important for the development of social interaction. Allowing my students to use the microphone to sing and perform would make learning songs or the musical activities they are participating in more concrete and hands-on. Most of the time, our students watching the concerts or performances are not able to focus due to their inability to hear the concert. Allowing them to hear the music presented on a microphone and speakers will help with their attention and retention. If given this sound system, the outcomes and benefits could be endless! It would be used for a variety of activities, events, programs, concerts, and productions. It would provide an outlet for their love for music and to maximize student learning, participation and involvement!
