True healing is not waiting for time to heal. It's creating the opportunities where healing takes place.
This process of mending can make you stronger.
Through music and art you can gain a sense of life’s meaning. When you create art, you make something that did not exist before and that you can preserve to enjoy in days to come.
Dr. Abel welcomes extremely talented musician and educator, Sevy Phalangas, to share her journey into the world of music and her unique inclusion of vision in teaching the youth, as well as students with autism.
It's very special to be able to combine sight and sound so elegantly.
