What's in the Big Yellow Bag?
developing language through musical play
​
The Yellow Bag Method(TM) was developed after Mary Lawrence was presented with the challenge of organizing and implementing highly engaging, language-rich, hands-on music strategies at a fast pace to preschoolers with autism. The solution was a large yellow laundry bag (later coined the Big Yellow Bag) filled with containers. Each container represented a highly reinforcing music strategy and was filled with instruments, finger puppets or toys!
During this e-course, Patina and Mary will describe the Yellow Bag Method and will demonstrate 20 highly engaging, language and fine motor rich sensory strategies!
Included in the course:
-
training videos & handouts to teach the songs & techniques!
(3 continuing education credits/pre-approved for 3 CMTEs) -
The Yellow Bag Songbook (a complete song book of the 20 songs shared during the course!)
Instructors: Mary Lawrence, Retired Music Therapist, Patina Jackson, MT-BC
