GLEE Program

At GLEE we combine the benefits of Dance and Music. Dance is the most fundamental of the arts, involving direct expression through the body. Music sets our stage (our learning environment) and singing has become an important element of our program as we've found singing to be particularly effective in the development of speech. The combination of using dancing, singing, imagination and loads of fun has produced positive outcomes for many children. GLEE helps to build new learning pathways and improve speech, communication, coordination, and socialization. Thus, dancing and singing is a powerful medium of therapy for children with learning challenges and it's been especially beneficial for children on the autism spectrum.

The GLEE Program is facilitated at the Holland Center (a pediatric autism treatment center).
