This workbook describes how to use Voice Movement Therapy (VMT) with individuals and groups with special needs to increase expressive and communicative skills and build a stronger sense of self by finding and developing their own voice. The first part illustrates basic principles of VMT, accompanied by a series of experiences to help both professionals and parents gain a better understanding of difficulties these children confront routinely. The second part shows how to apply these principles using song and vocalization in a classroom. The third part presents 3 examples of working with children by finding out what in a given environment attracts a particular child and using it to increase their desire to relate and communicate, both verbally and non-verbally, through voice and movement. This book was made specifically for working with children with both cognitive and physical disabilities, but it can be adapted for use with people of varying ages and conditions.
