Singing and neurodiversity

Inspiring Voices

Dive into the transformative power of music through the lens of neurodiversity! Join experts Abigail Mann-Daraz and Alice Nicholls as they unravel the complex world of inclusive singing, bringing their personal experiences and professional insights to the forefront. This episode explores how music can be a profound healing tool for neurodivergent young people, challenging traditional notions of 'normal' and celebrating the unique voices that often go unheard.

Drawing from their own lived experiences with neurodivergence, these specialists reveal the critical intersection of mental health, music, and self-expression. Discover how singing can become more than just a skill—it's a pathway to connection, understanding, and personal empowerment for young people navigating the challenges of neurodivergence.

Whether you're an educator, music lover, or someone passionate about inclusive practices, this episode promises to open your eyes to the remarkable potential of music as a universal language of understanding and support.
