One of the important aspects in communication is finding the effective method to reach somebody for purposes of business. There has been a resurgence in commericals on tv and the Internet with music, song and in some cases, dance. The popularity of things like High School Musical and television shows like So You Think You Can Dance? have brought music back into the media. I love it because it also is a great method of communication for people – specifically with special needs.
Arianna and other Rett Syndrome girls tend to respond more to things if they are entertained with it. One of the reasons that children’s videos are entertaining to them is that the music and in some cases the dancing is entertaining and cuts through in the brain to a part that can receive information and they can actually register and respond to it without having to try and talk or use their hands.
I have experimented with trying to memorize school and work projects and lists of information using song. I have done this while dancing as well so my results are anecdotal and have zero scientific credibility except that for me, it works.
You may or may nor remember that as a kid, if you made up sing song rhymes you might remember facts about science or life. There use to be a saying “Red sky in the morning, sailor take warning, red sky at night, sailor’s delight.” It is based on weather systems and there is truth to this.
The same holds true of getting kids to sing their alphabet song (you remember don’t you? “A B C D E F G, etc.”). Things go well with sound and a steady vibrational rhythm behind it.
The same holds true for the human body. It is good for people to sing and dance, even if they think cannot do either. It gets oxygen into the body, circulation moving and the muscles keep from stiffening. I am happy that there are so many people interested in dancing again.
I think that there are business opportunities and things to work with special needs children that haven’t been explored yet but are just waiting for somebody to give it a shot.
Maybe you will be the one to get things going!
