This innovative resource sets out simple, everyday activities that use
music and sound to enrich the lives of young children with profound and
multiple learning disabilities. Each colourful card presents ideas that
parents and others can do with the child in their care, at home and when
out and about.
Activities are based on the Sounds of Intent framework of musical
development - www.soundsofintent.org - and structured to promote an
evolving sense of self, engagement with others, and an awareness of the
wider world. A QR code on each card connects to specially created audio
and visual materials that can be found on the Soundabout website -
www.soundaboutfamily.org.uk.
Features that make this an essential resource include:
- 48 cards that set out over 200 activities involving sound and music in
an accessible way, with no special skills or knowledge needed
- Access to audio files, the pioneering 'Soundabout Music Tracks', that
make music truly accessible to people with the most profound
disabilities
Created by Soundabout, a UK-wide charity whose mission is to empower
people with profound and multiple learning difficulties through music,
Little Soundabout is a unique resource that will enhance the lives of
all learning-disabled young children aged 0-5 in the UK and beyond.
Intended for use in educational settings and/or therapy contexts under
the supervision of an adult. This is not a toy.
