"Erin, from Musaic Minds, has been providing fantastic online sessions for young children with disabilities throughout the pandemic. She has worked closely with the staff from the Denbighshire Children’s Centre to enhance each child’s development through sign, song and movement. She has been instrumental in developing a Makaton choir for the older children who have a Learning disability, their parents and staff. Individual sessions, held on line or in person (following all guidance re social distancing and use of PPE), have been hugely successful. The older teenagers have enjoyed being able to meet up (virtually) with their friends, catching up and enjoying a sing along together. She has been able to help the young people address issues around anxiety, due to the pandemic, using her skills as a therapist. Feedback from children/young people and parents has been extremely positive with requests for the service to continue."
