I highly recommend Shannon’s workshop on Neurodiversity in the Voice Studio. Although I hold a Masters degree in Special Ed and was an inclusion classroom teacher before I became a vocal coach, I still had some confusion over how to implement what I know to meet the needs of all kinds of learners in the voice studio. Shannon’s explanations gave me further clarity and expanded ideas on what I could offer clients in ways I had not thought of, such as various ways I can present information, policies, vocal coaching, and the environment I create to meet the needs of all learners. ~Dana L.
