Background
SEN Foundation is partnering up with a team of Occupational Therapists at Haven of Hope Christian Service to launch a community choir in Summer 2021. This project reflects our beliefs for bottom-up empowerment and our effort to tailor interventions for each unique individual using professional assessments and research. The Choir brought together 22 young choristers with a range of special needs - They attended choral workshops and an occupational therapy assessment before their training, allowing our therapists and music educators to understand them and design their specific needs. This programme aims to empower the participants to appreciate music and creatively using it to express themselves, it also brought Rivertones members (with special needs) and ReLive members (with physical disabilities) opportunities to engage with a wider community through performances and a final graduation concert to conclude the programme.
What we have
(1) Guidance and mentorship from experienced project managers (2) Optional training on SEN pedagogy and choral workshop (3) Work closely with our founders (4) Clear guidelines for tasks and partnership
Why this is important
Objectives: (1) Supporting SENs to excel from the mainstream education framework (2) Bringing SENs together, enabling their self and mutual empowerment (3) Empowering SEN students’ voice, allowing them to express themselves through music (4) Engage different communities with SEN students to build connection and destigmatise special needs (5) To maximise the potentials and readiness in music of SEN students through therapeutic input
