New Children’s Book Series Delivers Uplifting Messages of Inclusion





New Children’s Book Series Delivers Uplifting Messages of Inclusion

Charles Schoen has made it his mission to inspire communities to celebrate diversity and embrace all children — regardless of physical or developmental challenges. Listen to his compelling appearance on the Tom Sumner show here: https://rss.com/podcasts/tomsumnerprogram/294771/.

Schoen also shares his experiences raising a severely disabled son in his new children’s book series, Adventures with Charlie, which aims to help encourage inclusion, improve understanding, and provide support to families confronting the challenges of physical and/or mental disabilities.

New Children’s Book Series Delivers Uplifting Messages of Inclusion

  

When his son Charlie was just three months old, author Charles Schoen threw away the “what to expect” books for new parents and focused on what his severely disabled child could do. Charlie wasn’t going to reach all the milestones that other children do, but Schoen was determined to help his son live a full, happy life.

 

Schoen’s compelling new children’s book series, Adventures with Charlie, was inspired by his real-life experiences raising a child with special needs. Written for preschoolers and early readers, Adventures with Charlie serves as both an inspiration to families confronting the challenges of physical and/or mental disabilities, while also introducing typical peers to children with differences.

 

“Charlie is nonjudgmental. He doesn’t see anybody with judgement like we do,” Schoen said in a recent interview. “And so, he literally is an example of loving everyone just for being there — as opposed to who they are or what they do or what they look like.”

 

Through Adventures with Charlie, parents and children can follow Charlie as he learns and grows through new experiences. 

 

In the first book of the series, Charlie Goes to School, readers get to explore a day of school from Charlie’s perspective, as he travels on the wind of his wheelchair, meets his friends, gathers knowledge and arrives back home flying through the air. In Charlie Goes to Tommy’s Barber Shop and Charlie Goes to Waffle House, children can learn from the ways in which Charlie interacts and makes friends in his community. Charlie Plays Baseball shares the motivational story of a baseball league that caters to children with special needs and physical challenges. And Charlie and the Half-Marathon will have readers cheering as Charlie and his father team-up for this exciting new adventure.

 

“Children need to have stories that illustrate the idea that ‘being different from typical peers’ can have some special rewards,” Schoen said. 

 

The Adventures with Charlie series emphasizes what children CAN do in the face of physical or developmental challenges, and along the way, points out that when communities embrace and lift up all children, everyone wins.

About the Author

Charles Schoen is the Executive Director of The Adaptive Learning Center, a preschool inclusion program in Atlanta, Georgia. He has three children. His oldest child, Charlie, is the inspiration for his books.

Music Therapy and Benefits for Children with ADHD

Music Therapy and Benefits for Children with ADHD

Image courtesy of Pixabay

You know how your favorite music can transform your entire mood? As anecdotal as that

sounds, there is actual scientific proof that music is useful as a therapeutic tool. In fact, music

therapy has been used since the early 20th century as medical professionals observed positive

patient reactions to music as a way to cope with both physical and emotional trauma resulting

from fighting in World War II. Here’s how music can help children with ADHD or autism,

presented below by AxelPerez.us.

Music Therapy: The Mind and Body Connection

The intrinsic connection between the mind and body means that in order to improve one, it is

best to take care of both. Music has a potent effect on our emotions. The right song can change

our mood drastically. By using music to make a person feel more positive or relaxed, they are

better able to heal.

Music Therapy and ADHD

For children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, learning to play an instrument

combines the emotional benefits of music while helping instill discipline and self-esteem.

Music therapy can also be used to help a child concentrate. Classical music has been proven to help

children study and stay focused on tasks. With permission from their teacher, your child can

even listen to music on headphones while completing assignments.

Plus, music gives children a creative outlet where they can express themselves, improve

hand/eye coordination, and broaden their minds. While a child with ADHD doesn’t need to learn

to play an instrument to benefit from music therapy, it’s a great hobby and school subject for

them to become involved in if they are interested. The “if they are interested” part is pretty

crucial. One of the reasons music therapy is so effective for children is because it is non-

threatening and enjoyable -- forcing your child to participate kind of negates those aspects.

However, if your kid wants to learn to play, here is some helpful advice.

● When learning how to play an instrument, in-person lessons aren’t always necessary.

Online music lessons enable your child to learn in a virtual environment, and these

lessons may be cheaper because instructors won’t have to travel to your home.

● Introduce your child to a number of instruments they can learn how to play. Some music

schools offer complimentary introductory courses where they can experience the sounds

and feel of an instrument before committing. Let your child pick one they are comfortable

with so they are naturally inclined to play.

● In addition to multiple types of instruments, allow your children to become well versed in

the different genres of music. Your child may not be as into classical as, say, jazz or

pop. Knowing that there are other musical options out there for them will encourage

them to stick with it and make it their own.

● Pick an instrument that is acceptable for your child’s skill level and abilities. For instance,

many young musicians pick up and learn the clarinet before attempting to move on to a

saxophone. A clarinet is easier to handle and carry around, but it still teaches them how

to read music and fingering fundamentals that they can then apply to the saxophone

when they are ready.

● When it is time to buy an instrument, don’t invest in the most expensive, highest level

version. For instance, if your child wants to learn the trumpet, there’s no need to buy an

intermediate instrument with slide hooks and adjustable slide stops. A student trumpet is

more affordable and has all the tools necessary to learn the instrument. As they grow

and become more serious regarding their playing, you can trade their student instrument

in for a more advanced model.

● Lastly, if you live in an apartment, you need to be aware of your surroundings. A loud

instrument could disrupt your neighbors, limiting your child’s ability to practice. If

possible, look for a rental house that will allow your child to practice freely without

worrying about bothering people with whom you share walls. Online websites can help

you filter search results by number of bedrooms, neighborhood, and price.

***



Music therapy is a proven method that helps people improve both the mind and body. Children

with ADHD or autism can especially benefit from music therapy and learning to play an

instrument in particular. If they are interested in it, they learn discipline, improve their hand/eye

coordination, and have a creative outlet that helps broaden the mind. When picking out an

instrument, find one that appeals to their interests and allow them to start out with a small,

student-level model they can trade in as they continue to learn.

Dr. Phillips Center Presents “Black, Brown and Beige” & Sacred Music

Date: Wednesday, January 26, 2022  

Time: 8 p.m.

Premier pre-show experience available | $75 

 

Jazz is America’s music—and Duke Ellington was its number one creator. His work “Black, Brown and Beige” is an American masterpiece that set out to broaden a person’s—and a country’s—sense of history. Critics panned its premiere in New York’s Carnegie Hall in 1943, simply because it was ahead of its time.

 

Now, 80 years later, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra will join members of The Jazz Orchestra at Dr. Phillips Center and players from Jazz at Lincoln Center—along with the Bethune-Cookman University Concert Chorale and vocal soloists—to honor Ellington’s most significant work. 

 

This monumental evening will feature the professional world premiere of the orchestration of “Black, Brown and Beige” created at Ellington’s request. It’ll be the performance of a lifetime as Steinmetz Hall continues to take its place as one of the world’s most important concert halls.

 

Committed to creating and sustaining professional jazz programming right here in Orlando, The Jazz Orchestra at Dr. Phillips Center led by internationally renowned bassist Rodney Whitaker. 

 

Spanning musical genres from classical to jazz to gospel, the award-winning group of undergrads that make up The Bethune-Cookman University Concert Chorale has performed in our local community and around the world—including the honor of singing at former U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama’s final Christmas concert at the White House.
