Educator Appraisal

Valuing music in special needs settings SEND toolkit uses music as a tool for emotional expression. The toolkit guides educators on how to lead students through the process, helps develop social skills, and includes a toolkit for group music making. However, not all students manage noise well, so it might not be applicable to all students.

Evidence Rating
