" It is a fantastic opportunity to be involved in the excitement and fun that Wiggle and Giggle music brings into a little child's day! I love watching my children develop their gross motor and communication skills through singing and doing the actions that accompany the songs".

Music Program - Autism Spectrum Australia - Aspect - Central Coast
4th September 2009 - 30th October 2009
In conjunction with Darren Jones from Wiggle and Giggle Music an individualised program was developed to cater for the individual strengths and needs of all our students.
The students have responded well to Darren and the new and interesting music experiences that he presents each week. The students look forward to Darren's visit as much as Darren looks forward to seeing the children.
The outcomes that have been achieved by all students have been fantastic. The outcomes are based on the K-6 NSW Board of Studies Creative and Practical Arts Syllabus documents. Each outcome was tailored to the specific needs of the individual students.
Many students who in the past have been reluctant to participate in music are now taking part with gusto. The material has been presented by a Professional Music Teacher and music has been given a focus and a priority in our school environment.
Children with Autism respond well to music. Research has identified music as an intuitive vehicle for the enhancement of communication, social participation/engagement and the moderating of restrictive behaviours and sensory arousal levels.
We thank Darren and Christina from Wiggle and Giggle Music for all the hard work and effort they have put into the development and implementation of a music program that catered for our students. The staff and students have had a brilliant time during the music classes and we look forward to working with Wiggle and Giggle in the future.
