    9. Music Program A volunteer, Nicole Barr, began working with Sharon 7 months ago as a support for Sharon’s work role. Nicole is a professional musician who has written a song in regard to Sharon. This was in response to Nicole’s interest in expanding and encouraging Sharon’s communication through her love of music, butterflies and stars. It was the endeavor to begin communicating with Sharon through music and this song was written with the specific hope of reaching out to Sharon.

    10. Work Related Experience Single volunteers with disabilities access various work related experiences including cleaning tasks, office skills etc. In the past the Specialist school provided three work teams in the areas of horticulture, office reception and retail.
