The Healing Power of Music -- FLAME, the band!

[OneGrassRoot]

Check out this band, comprised of individuals with developmental disabilities.

Wonderful!!!

FLAME, a group from upstate New York made up of 11 people with developmental/physical disabilities, including autism, Down’s syndrome, mental retardation and blindness, is capturing the world’s attention but their message remains the same. The band from Lexington Center, Fulton County Chapter, NYSARC, Inc., wants to change the world through music. They are a phenomenon that inspires people and changes the way the general public view people with disabilities. People of all ages and backgrounds connect with this special rock band, especially those who have a disability. Parents are often overcome with emotion watching FLAME, seeing that it’s possible to have their child achieve great things and, even more importantly, have a fun, fulfilling life.

I work with DD's and they are amazing people. They don't know what I can't do it means. I'm sending this link in to work so maybe we can get something going too. Right now we do bell choirs and singing choirs and the people love it. Thanks for the info.
