Therapeutic Harmony: Evidence Based Music and Sensory Interventions for Speech
Therapeutic Harmony: Evidence-Based Music and Sensory Interventions for Speech explores research-backed strategies that integrate music and sensory techniques into speech therapy. Participants will learn practical interventions using rhythm, melody, movement, and sensory regulation to support communication, engagement, and emotional regulation in pediatric and neurodivergent populations.
Speaker
Kevin Simmons is a licensed pediatric speech-language pathologist based in Dawsonville, Georgia. Originally from Johns Creek, Georgia, Kevin earned his master’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from Radford University in Virginia. With a heart for children and a creative approach to therapy, Kevin specializes in supporting children with communication challenges through play-based, sensory-friendly interventions. Kevin is also the founder of The Singing SLP, a unique practice that blends traditional speech therapy with music integration and sensory strategies. His innovative work includes being a sensory barber—providing inclusive, adaptive haircuts for children who have sensory processing needs, often turning what was once a stressful experience into one of connection and success. Through his multifaceted work, Kevin brings energy, compassion and creativity to every session, whether he’s helping a child find their first words or transforming a haircut into a confidence-boosting moment. His passion lies in meeting kids where they are, using music, movement and meaningful routines to help them thrive.
