• Supportive Environment: Charlie’s parents recognize his musical talent and encourage his interests. They’ve arranged for music therapy, where he not only hones his skills but also develops essential social and communication skills in a context that resonates with him.
• Inclusivity Matters: Charlie’s school has implemented inclusive education practices, allowing him to participate in music class alongside his neurotypical peers. This inclusive approach fosters empathy and understanding among all students.
