Oh Kimberly, I really empathize with your disappointment! I could tell you several stories exactly like that from my time in Fort Collins 2002-2006. I signed up for talk after talk (12-14 in my first year in Fort Collins), and created connection after connection only to have them go nowhere. That is exactly why I jumped at the opportunity to move to Denver. I wish I had some amazing tips for you. I’ve found Denver to be much more supportive of music therapy. Hang in there!!

I wish I had brilliant ideas to offer- I’m not in private practice yet. I certainly appreciate your sharing your struggle and ideas here though, because I’m paying attention.

For what it’s worth: in New Jersey, the state music therapy association spent some time putting up displays in the local libraries about autism and music therapy and about music therapy with elders. We got a couple of interested people through that. Maybe you can mobilize the folks who are already receiving services and invite them to refer a friend who may need your services.

Oh, and your little one’s voice is so sweet. Good luck, Ms. Kimberly! Where there’s a will, there’s a way!

Amen on the frustrating

In-services on attention and classroom management have been requested of me twice in the last week.

Its a little “out of the box” but anything can turn into an opportunity.
