She would do activities and probably words or songs with him off to the side. While students were drumming and dancing one student asked if he wanted to say something on the mic. He started to speak on the microphone, were as I never heard this boy speak before, then I thought to myself, this is what he needs, he can hear himself, others can hear him. I thought of different ways this can be used as a teaching tool also.
