CNN.com article on singing therapy

[Guest guest]

Good morning,

 

I just read this and thought to share it.  This CNN article discusses " singing therapy " for stroke patients and that it is only scientifically researched at Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston and that any untrained person can facilitate this work.  And now they are looking into seeing how it might work for children with autism.   http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/22/aaas.music.language/index.html

This should probably be brought to the attention of both the NER and the national AMTA Professional Advocacy Committee representatives (given that it's CNN), to gather more information about this approach, and to help educate about music therapy, where warranted.Good morning, I just read this and thought to share it.
