We use music to ensure that children and young people living with a disability\, or a special condition are included and that they get an equal opportunity to showcase their potential and thrive. Brass for Africa has in the past 3 years implemented music-based interventions for children and youth living with autism with majority being severe and non-verbal. We have also used music to improve life and bring joy for severe CP cases. Brass for Africa also brings the joy of music to a Rehabilitation Hospital that performs hundreds of rehabilitative surgeries on children. All our work takes a community approach\, working with caregivers and the trained staff at the homes\, centres and hospitals and none of our musicians and teachers are trained therapists. This area is very new in Uganda and we are leading the pack in using music to develop the understanding of inclusion \nRegister here:\n\n \n \n\n \n\n \n \n Last Name \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n First Name \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n Email Address \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n \n\n \n Submit \n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n  \n\nSpeakers\n \nAndrew Agassi\, Chief Operating Officer at Brass for Africa\n\nAndrew Agassi is the Brass for Africa’s Chief Operating Officer (Global) and also serves as the Uganda Country Director.
