Bio on Amy
Bonser:
I am very excited
about the music programs that I have to offer learners with special
needs. I have 9 years of experience making accommodations for
individuals with a variety of challenges including large and small
motor, cognitive, and speech and language delays as well as sensory
needs. I have been teaching piano and music privately for the past
10 years and taught another preschool music and movement program for
3 years. It was my experience teaching younger children with
special needs that led me to realize the need for a program that was
affordable and more specifically designed to provide benefit and
success to children with special needs. I have created my own music
and movement program with the assistance of Katie Shirk. She is a
special education consultant to the Northville school district and
well as a presenter on topics pertinent to the special needs
community. She is widely recognized throughout the state of
Michigan. I am also consulting with an occupational therapist. The
program is research based, and is fun for all children but is
specifically designed for children with special needs. I am also
available for private lessons.

Here is a local dance studio with
special needs connections:
Janet is a special education teacher who
understands the needs of children with all disabilities. She
integrates children with special needs into her classes, makes them
feel welcome and includes them in the recital. The classes she
offers include Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Hawaiian and Gymnastics.
You pay monthly so if the children aren't having fun, you can pull
them and not be concerned that money has already been invested. She
has had children with Austism, Downs Syndrom, Epilepsy, learning
disabilities and she has also had a child in a wheel chair
participate. She places the children with a teacher that isn't
concerned about making the children a star and with other children
whose parent's aren't concerned about them being a star. The age
group is 3-17 but the children must be potty trained.
It sounds like a wonderful opportunity for our
special kids who have the love for music.
