Approaches to Communication through Music by Margaret Corke provides practical and person-centered approaches to using music with individuals who have limited speech or comprehension. This manual offers tried and tested activities, songs, and games to promote fundamental communication and social interaction. The book's ethos is centered around differentiation and improvisation, allowing for individualized support according to the learner's needs and developmental levels.
