Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Children with disabilities from low-income households often lack access to resources that can help them develop essential communication, cognitive, and emotional skills. Music has been proven to be a powerful tool for improving mental health, speech, and communication in children with disabilities, particularly those with autism. However, many of these children do not have the opportunity to engage in music therapy due to financial constraints.

This project seeks to provide musical instruments to students with disabilities, allowing them to explore music as a means of expression, therapy, and personal development.
