Thank you Jack for your help with a webinar last week for The John F. Kennedy Center through the Department of Access and Very Special Arts about the arts, communication, and engagement for people like you. Thank you to teachers and SLPs who taught me the strategies I shared. ❤️

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary Thank you for getting the word out and for putting a lid on inappropriate Tweets.

Just heard that Florida may stop including cause of death as public knowledge. If we are managing the pandemic with data, I'd like mine without manipulation, please. Real data, not "alternate facts" data, or data manipulated like the mortgage date from the last depression.

Just purchased the children's book "Every Little Thing" based on Bob Marley's song "Three Little Birds". As his daughter, the author says, the song has given hope to millions. Thank you Cedella Marley. Should be an anthem for these trying times.

@Robert_Avossa I have family in the Bergamo area and decided to prepare early despite what I heard from some here. I hope all your family fares well.

@RoyalPalm_RPS during these trying times music can help people feel better. I wish DreamWorks would let us use "Just Sing" from the new Trolls film like Pharrell's "Happy" so people could post music videos with the song. I just purchased the song and am ready to go! Just Sing!

https://t.co/EsBY7w8IgQ If you don't have access to an iDevice this program is free and allows people with physical and cognitive challenges make music and more. You need a computer, speakers, and a webcam. If you need help the AUMI folks are passionate about doing just that!

https://t.co/NQ7wE7Z0yU This is an old post but may be helpful to parents or guardians who want to help their special needs child enjoy quarantine through music making.

Online music teacher for special needs students suggests two apps for higher level, more independent students: Toontastic to make stories that you can add your choice of music to and Garageband on iPad because it has a lot of ways to play and create music.

[D Nelson @tweeish]

Online music teacher for students with severe cognitive challenges suggests fun apps: AUMI, Skoog, Beamz, Duckie Deck Homemade Orchestra, Musical me!, Toca Band, Tiny Piano, Loopimal, Singing Fingers, and MyTalkTools for communication - check out the free version to try.

#TrollsWorldTour online public music teacher still loves "Just Sing" and would like to use it like Pharrell's "Happy" to engage students. She purchased the song from Amazon. It would give students hope and joy to make videos during this time. How about it DreamWorks? May we?

[D Nelson @tweeish]

Thank you AUMI app. With my special education students learning from home I will be suggesting my favorite, easy to use apps to parents and ask them to post videos of their work. I've been looking for more than passive experiences for my students and their parents.

[D Nelson @tweeish]

#TrollsWorldTour online public music teacher loves "Just Sing" would like to use it like Pharrel's "Happy" to engage students. I own the song. I know it would give my students hope and joy. How about it DreamWorks? May we?

[D Nelson @tweeish]

I'm an online public music teacher and have engaged my students to "Just Sing" from the new Trolls film. Wish DreamWorks would give permission to use it in videos like people did for "Happy". Keeping my fingers crossed. ☺
