it hasn't been identified what the disorder with this child is, but he has minor weak muscles and isn't very much aware of what surrounds him. he can't talk (but is not mute) and we've tried communicating with him by using representations. for example, if we ask him a yes or no question, we request that if the answer is yes, he claps once and twice for no. he seems so unaware of our requests and just looks around. he loves light beams, but gets tired very quickly. is there any creative way i can help this student?

I am doing a study about the connection between reading music and the termenology langange (words).
If a kid never had the chance to take phonics when was little because he had speech problems. He becomes a musician someday. If a person had trouble reading words, do you think he would have the same trouble reading (intreperting) music?
There has to be a connection between them both because reading music is just like reading a foreign languge or the newspaper. What do you guys think? If anybody ever done the same study please give me as much as information as you can please! Thank you!
