By Beth May 8th, 2011 About a week ago, I was running quite a bit early to pick up my friend in the middle of the afternoon. She mentioned that she would call when she was done getting ready. Respectful of her space and time and feeling a bit sleepy, instead of calling and rushing her, I parked my car on the street on the side of her house and decided to recline the drivers seat to a laying down position. All of a sudden, it started raining. I turned up the volume on my radio slightly and laid back in the seat. I was perfectly cozy. The station I was listening to at the time was 89.3. Slow and somber classical music tickled my eardrums with total calm. I fell asleep. In and out of sleep, I heard different pitches come and go, loud and soft and fast and slow classical music played through my car speakers. No matter what the intensity of the classical music, it inspired a good feeling while I peacefully napped in my car that afternoon. After having such a positive experien

At a week old he got jaundice and it seemed to me as the mother he changed after that. He did not roll over again until months later. Corran was always such a calm happy baby and Him being the first born I did not notice he was different until later down the road. Corran also played different with toys then the other children. At home he could organize his toys by type and line them up. He could also find the on off switch on any toy. He was also a late walker, and never actually crawled. It seemed like one day he just decided to walk and he did like a pro, it was kinda odd. At the age of 3 and 1/2 I had to have answers so we took Corran to see a developmental pediatrician for he was still not talking. Corran was then diagnosed with high functioning autism or previously known as Aspergers. The doctor stated that his autism is very isolated to his communication skills.

Stuart Jackson was on a mission. For years, the Overland Park father had searched for a way to help his son find relief from the stress and anxiety often experienced by children with autism. Like many of those children, Joshua could be soothed through deep touch pressure — the kind of feeling one might get by being tightly hugged or squeezed. Learn how Music And Rhythm Can Help Your Child’s Autism – CLICK HERE Jackson came across a few potential solutions on the market, but they tended to be clunky, noisy or ineffective. And way too expensive. So he took it to CAPS — the Center for Advanced Professional Studies in the Blue Valley School District. And the engineering students rose to the challenge. Using such items as a papasan chair, an inflatable air bag, a swimming pool noodle and a remote control air pump, they designed and built a device that not only provides deep pressure to calm the user, but is affordable and looks like a regular piece of furniture. It could work in th

January 13, 2015 A newly-opened Quiznos sandwich shop on Texas Tech s campus will provide more than just food: it will provide valuable work experience to young adults on the autism spectrum. Learn how Music And Rhythm Can Help Your Child’s Autism – CLICK HERE The corporation partnered with the College of Education s Burkhart Center for Autism Education & Research to bring the shop to the campus. The school s Hospitality Services staffers will manage the restaurant, but most of the line employees will be Burkhart students, all of whom fall somewhere on the autism spectrum. After Janice Magness, the director of the Burkhart Center’s Transition Academy, approached Hospitality Services to build a coffee shop in the new building — which would give students a place to work where faculty could be close by and help as needed — the idea expanded. Hospitality Services managing director Kirk Rodriguez wanted to provide something more expansive than a coffee shop, since it would only

Classical music has a long, rich history of talented people creating magnificent art. There have been composers of noble birth who, after a lifetime of moving audiences to tears with splendid music, are honored upon their deaths with great ceremony. These are not their stories. Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) If you were a French aristocrat during the 17thcentury, you probably spent your afternoons making sure your lead-based facepaint was slathered on just right in case you ran into Jean-Baptiste Lully. The most influential and important French composer of the time, Lully was also an accomplished ballet dancer, a prolific composer of operas, and best mates with King Louis XIV. In those days, orchestras were smaller than they are now and the position of conductor wasn’t really a thing yet. Instead, the composer (usually) stood off to the side of the ensemble, rapping the deck with a large staff. During a particularly spirited moment while conducting his own Te Deum setting, Lully ac

I met my husband on the bus in 10th grade. While I never figured we d ever date, we did quickly become friends. After a while, we did begin dating. He had broken up with me to date someone else, but we stayed friends. However, upon being verbally abused by a girl who ridiculed him for being weird , he realized that, of all the girls he dated, I was the ONLY one who didn t hold his differences against him. If anything, I had accepted his differences, even admired them. He didn t like being touched, but he was so intelligent and thought outside of the box in such a way that d leave you in awe.

An organization in Iowa is combatting cabin fever and offering kids with autism a space to play in a place called Sensory World, KIMT reported. Learn how Music And Rhythm Can Help Your Child’s Autism – CLICK HERE The indoor playground, complete with inflatables, toy trains and a ball pit, is located at Southbridge Mall in Mason City and was designed specifically for kids with autism. The idea was spearheaded by program coordinator Kathy Steenblock, a committee member on the board of Special Kids Special Love. “It’s hard for autistic kids to be in social environments,” Steenblock told KIMT. “It might be overwhelming or, it might be too stimulating and sometimes it’s hard because others don’t understand their condition, so they don’t feel as comfortable, but we are hoping to provide a comfortable place where they can be themselves and have fun with other kids.” Get The Autism Answer on Paperback FREE – CLICK HERE Read more about the new space on KIMT.com.

Sketch of Ludwig Van Beethoven, German composer (AP) Researchers analyzing patterns in Beethoven’s music believe the famous composer may have suffered from an irregular heartbeat, evidenced by what they say are musical arrhythmias found in some of his work. The authors, which include a medical historian, cardiologist and a musicologist from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, further suggest that Beethoven’s believed deafness may have heightened his awareness of his heartbeat, causing him to compose music by following his heart. Arrhythmia refers to any change from the normal sequence of electrical impulses that causes the heart to beat too fast, too slow or erratically, according to the American Heart Association. They can be completely harmless or life-threatening. In the study, which was published in the journal Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, the team analyzed several of Beethoven’s compositions and f
