Our students have complex communication needs and my colleagues and I have created a music program for them that allows for them to build their communication skills while having fun! We have created a Joint Action Routine where each student has a specific job during the music session. For example, one student will have the job of asking their peers which instrument they would like, and their peers must use their preferred methods of communication to ask for an instrument. Another peer has the job of telling their peers that the instruments are \"finished\" and collecting the instruments. All students have the same job every music session, which allows for them to eventually master that communication skill. Joint Action Routines allow our students to improve of communication skills such as greeting, labeling, requesting, commenting, asking and answering questions, gaining attention, understanding and using basic concepts, sentence formulation, following directions, and much more! We work on specific concepts such as quiet/loud, fast/slow, and following action directions such as \"play\" \"march\" \"dance\" \"shake\" and \"tap\". \r\nMany of our students use assistive technology for communication, including tablet-based robust communication applications. The music sessions allow for our students to practice using their communication devices to improve their communication skills. The music sessions have been extremely motivating for our students and we've already seen so much growth in their communication skills. We intend on continuing the music sessions throughout the year and for many years to come since it has already proven so beneficial in just a short time!","fullyFundedDate":1756755808354,"projectUrl":"project/music-communication-therapy/9670905/","projectTitle":"Music Communication Therapy","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Misita","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-7_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7262433"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_105448","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":null,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":89,"percentAsian":2,"percentBlack":83,"percentWhite":3,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":7,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"US Census Data for the surrounding geographic area","gradesServed":"Not specified","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"Census ZCTA","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"UNCLASSIFIED","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":75.0,"schoolId":105448,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about PS 771K @ PS 66 on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"PS 771K @ PS 66","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/new-york/district-75-city-wide-programs/ps-771k-public-school-66/105448"}
