www.swingsetmamas.com,

will lead our `[Fun With Music " sessions. Children with autism and

their siblings

will participate together by singing and dancing in an interactive

and educational

format. Marlowe pairs American Sign Language and visuals with the

music as she

found that helped her connect with her daughter who has autism. She

uses music

in her after school program to promote social interaction between

special needs

children and their typical peers, while teaching awareness, tolerance

and inclusion

of all people.
