Does anyone have a child with ASD who is learning an instrument?

My daughter is 5 (6 in April) and is diagnosed with ASD. She is at the high functioning end of the spectrum. She also has hyper mobility, so fine motor skills can be an issue (not sure she'd have the strength to push down strings on a guitar / Ukulele for example).


She loves music, and I believe that playing an instrument could be very good for her.


The problem is


1. What instrument

2. Finding a good teacher with some experience of teaching kids with SEN


Has anyone got any experience they could share?


Thanks

I have children with ASD, two of whom play instruments (flute and piano). I'm not sure which instrument would best suit a child with fine motor difficulties, but both of my kids' teachers are fantastic and teach various instruments. I'm happy to pass on their numbers if you PM me.

      I wanted to just add that my experience has shown me that fitness classes aimed at an older demographic are often nowhere near as good or as much fun as those aiming at all and sundry.. most classes I've been to NOT aiming at 'Middle aged' people have had such a mixed bag and everyone does what they can at their own pace and this is encouraged. Do give it a go.

      Greens have some mad polices and I am still trying to work out if it is true that the leader of the party thought he could hypnotize women to have larger breasts 🤷‍♂️ country is in a real state at the min and all party’s have a part to play in that. what the future holds who knows but it is worrying.

      A stellar win for the Greens in Gorton and Denton, no doubt. But by-elections are funny beasts. Labour's strength traditionally has been in its ground game. Legions of canvassers over many years in many seats usually means that they are best placed to 'get out the vote' on election day. I can't quite believe that the Greens have enough data, or people, to wrest control of the council from Labour.
