incapale of learning
No one should EVER tell a chld or anybody else that they are incapable of learng! Why is mankinds judgemet of learning differences so narrow?
I work with people with a rane of disabilities,from auitic to blind tobrain injured. One clien o ine was told he would never walk again(after he had been shot in th head) and that he would nevr play music again(the Doc sitting him at he piano RIGHT AFTE his injuey!!)his man is now walking perfectly fine,and is pbass guitar,under my guidance,and is gaining coonfidence in himself!
so dont let anyone tellyou your sn cnt learn! It is thy who cant learn how to meet the needs of a child with learning differences.
I am a music theapist ith a background in special eduction.I support you in your efforts with your special child.BEcause these chldren are,indeed,special!
