2. Incorporate Music into Transitions
Transitions can be a challenging time for children with
learning difficulties, but music can make them more
enjoyable and less stressful. For example, a song can be
played during clean-up time or while transitioning from
one activity to another. This can help children with
learning difficulties stay focused and engaged during
transitions.
3. Use Music for Relaxation and Calming
Music can be a powerful tool for relaxation and calming, which
can be especially beneficial for children with learning
difficulties who may struggle with anxiety or sensory overload.
Soft, calming music can be played during quiet time or when
children need a break. This can help create a calming
environment and promote relaxation.
4. Encourage Musical Expression and Creativity
Music can be a great way for children with learning difficulties
to express themselves and be creative. Encourage musical
expression and creativity by providing musical instruments and
opportunities for children to create their own music. This can
help boost self-esteem and promote a sense of
accomplishment.
