A response from Dr. Lehrer:
    Thank you Karen and your student Julie for your kind words about our Educational Links page. The faculty and staff at Touro are pleased that our site was helpful to you.

Music and Autism - How Does Music Help Autism? - Studying Autism through Music - Music Therapy Guide - Autism and Music Therapy Links.
  I would like to mention that we found Ms. McVey's site ( http://mrsmcvey.com/aboutme.html ) an exceptional teaching resource! Please keep me informed of your projects.
