The Power of Music
Share your inspiring, hopeful story of how autism touched you.
My name is Jason Varley. I am a musician of over 30 years. About ten years ago I began volunteering with various Autism organizations around the L.A. area. I never intended for the two (Autism and music) to come together, but so goes fate. As the years went by, I worked more and more with children with Special Needs and gained a much deeper understanding of Autism. I began to see the many ways in which music could benefit these children, and am now running a very successful music program which continues to see amazing, positive, life changing results for kids on the spectrum. These kids have had, and continue to have an amazing impact on my life and teach me just as much as I teach them...
