I have much experience working with people who have PDD. In the past, I worked as a music therapist for four years with a girl with autism. I worked for two years incorporating music and literature to help a young teenager with aspergers develop her social skills. Additionally I taught music to a young child with autism and worked with adults with autism.
I currently work in a school with many youth who are on the spectrum. I combine use of CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) for emotional regulation work as well as more standard therapy work. I focus on being aware of various emotions, understanding them, recognizing them, verbalizing them, expressing them and controlling them in different ways.
