If you’ve ever watched a child light up when you sing their favorite song, you already know the magic of melody. In this uplifting and eye-opening course, Melody and Memory in Autism, speech-language pathologist and musician Corinne Zmoos, MS, CCC-SLP, shows you how to harness that magic for powerful therapeutic change. With a joyful blend of heart and science, Corinne takes you on a deep dive into the world of Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs), revealing how music, especially melody, can be one of the most effective tools for connecting with autistic learners in stage one of Natural Language Acquisition (NLA).
SLPs will walk away from this course inspired by the research, but grounded in real strategies that work. You’ll learn why musical memory often outshines other types of memory in autistic children and how that insight can revolutionize the way you model language. Through stories, science, and song, Corinne shows how music taps into rich sensory memories, unlocks echolalic language, and builds bridges to generative speech. The course breaks down complex brain science into accessible ideas, reminding us that music isn’t just entertainment, it’s a language all its own, one that many GLPs understand intuitively and deeply.
