Creating music is something that all children find stimulating and exciting. This new and updated edition of the well-established Making Music with the Young Child with Special Needs demonstrates how music can be used to encourage a child's development and provides practical help and guidance for parents and carers of all musical abilities, even beginners. The author also explains how musical activities can help to stimulate skills in other areas such as language and communication. The second part of the book details thirteen musical activities, with ideas for variations and further work.

In this new edition of her well-established book, Elaine Streeter helps parents and carers to learn not only how they can add to a child's fun, but also how they can engage a child in interactive communication at a level the child can make sense of - one of the most rewarding things anyone can do.

Elaine Streeter is a Senior Research Fellow in Music Therapy at the University of York. She is a registered HPC music therapist, APMT music therapist supervisor and member of the Advisory Council of the Association of Professional Music Therapists. Elaine has worked extensively with children with special needs in child development centres and special needs schools, as well as with adults in mental health settings and adults with learning impairments. She has travelled extensively as an invited international lecturer in music therapy and has many years experience as a senior lecturer in music therapy in the UK.
