3. Programs for Students with Disabilities (TRAP/Electronics Room)
The Gifted Kids Educational Foundation has partnered with Nathaniel's Hope to offer FREE music and tecnology sessions for children and youth with disabilities and their siblings at the Buddy Break Sessions located in Winter Park. We presently provides 2 rooms (the Electronics Room and the TRAP Room) with several sessions integrating both music and technology. The electronics room features a gaming system featuring a percussion instrument and Leapfrog/Vtech units where students can participate in center-based learning.
We have requests to expand services into other locations and upon availability of
equipment and materials we will be helping other locations start TRAP
sessions. We already have a number of organizations willing to host
TRAP sessions.
If you would like to use your time, talents or music equipment to help us expand the TRAP program at additional facilities please contact us. Call us if
you would like to find out how you can
bring this exciting project to your school, facility or organization.
