Coping Together: Children with Special Needs Making Music

Heather and Ben Cope have a lovely little studio in their home where they share their passion for music with lots of children with different special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). In this episode, they talk passionately about their love of music, about life as a blended SEND family and how they came to set up their CIC, Coping Together. They talk about the unique needs and abilities of every child who walks through their doors and how they adjust their approach to adapt to the needs and interests and passions of each individual. Their love for music, for the children they work with and for one another shines through this conversation. I already knew Heather and Ben because one of my sons has music lessons with them, as do the children of several of my friends and we all know that they are marvellous, but it was wonderful to have the chance to listen to their story. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
