Nonverbal Autistic Finds His Voice and Faith with Help from Neurologic Music Therapy and Facilitated Communication

Meet Josh, a 17-year-old with severe autism. He has been receiving neurologic music therapy (NMT) with Karyn (Casey) DePriest at Integrative Music Therapy (IMT) with wonderful responses. He is learning to integrate his brain and body for more functional movements and has learned to communicate through supported typing. He has so much to say about autism, education, his concerns about ABA, and his faith.

Josh is now able to share his hopes, dreams, prayers, and his love for his family and for God. On March 16, 2014, he chose to be baptized, with his mom and Casey at his side, and began a new journey of faith as he taught us all that everyone matters to God. Enjoy watching …
