Good post, music can also strangly be a very good therapy for the deaf, the vibrations and bass can be felt as tunes.

Yes, our kids both had a trial music therapy session at the Brainwave centre. They've got loads of access to music at home as I play guitar and piano, but even so it was interesting to see Michael chilling out, lying on his back with his feet on the cello so he could feel the vibrations of it being played!

Does anyone know if there is a register where you can find out about properly accredited therapists in your area?
