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

[Otta]

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.

Like this thread, am going to keep an eye on this one.
