Other Pertinent Agency Information <br /> Individuals with developmental disabilities often have greater difficulty in areas of basic <br /> communication and social skills. These skills are critical to learning in an academic setting and <br /> enabling students to become strong self-advocates, independent adults and experience full <br /> community participation. <br /> VT in Education has the following SMART goals for each classroom that we work with: <br /> • Provide weekly Voices Together music therapy sessions for students in selected <br /> Exceptional Children's classrooms resulting in an increase in students' verbal language and <br /> speech skills. We will administer pre-test and post-tests to teachers to measure the <br /> success of the objectives. <br /> • Voices Together will promote learning in classrooms receiving weekly music therapy <br /> sessions by working to increase a student's ability to remain seated and engaged in a <br /> group setting, and teach positive coping skills students can use that will decrease the <br /> number of emotional or physical outbursts. We will administer pre-test and post-tests to <br /> teachers to measure the success of the objectives. <br /> • Voices Together will support the development of student's communication and social skills <br /> by increasing their ability to initiate conversation, speak so others can understand them, <br /> and engage in actively listen. We will administer pre-test and post-tests to teachers to <br /> measure the success of the objectives. <br /> Main Application 1/25/2016 1:42:01 PM Page 6 • f 211 <br />
