MUSIC-CAN Level 1: Exploring Early Communication and Assistive Technology Access
This session is designed for individuals at the pre-cause-and-effect or cause-and-effect level, with a focus on exploring the concept of choice-making. There are no right or wrong options—emphasis is placed on fostering early communication skills in a supportive, inclusive environment.
Running alongside these activities, an Assistive Technology (AT) specialist will assess participants to determine the most suitable access methods for their technology, ensuring personalised support for each individual’s unique needs.
Explore our Level 1 Case Study to see how our tailored approach makes a difference.
At Forget-Me-Not Productions, we are dedicated to creating tailored, inclusive arts experiences for individuals of all abilities, guided by our innovative MUSIC-CAN framework. Our adaptable approach ensures that every session meets the unique needs of participants, from those exploring cause-and-effect interactions to individuals with complex physical disabilities and typical cognitive functioning.
MUSIC-CAN Level 3: Mastery of Assistive Technology and Creative Empowerment
Level 3 sessions are designed for individuals who are proficient in using their assistive technology and require tailored programming to access specialist or mainstream software. At this stage, the possibilities are endless, with participants empowered to pursue their creative ambitions.
The Level 3 Case Study highlights a young man who has worked with the Forget-Me-Not team for three years. Initially struggling with motivation and self-esteem, he has progressed through developmental stages to become a rising songwriter and filmmaker. His music video was showcased at RawFfest 2019 and earned him interviews on BBC Wales’ Good Morning Wales and Good Evening Wales. He was also featured in an article on Classic FM Online, exemplifying the transformative potential of this level.
We believe in the power of empowerment and assume competence in every individual. Through active observation and thoughtful planning, we uncover and value even the smallest responses—subtle movements or facial expressions—as meaningful acts of communication. Our sessions are designed to foster active participation, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to express themselves creatively.
MUSIC-CAN Level 2: Developing Deliberate Choice-Making and Functional Communication
Level 2 sessions build on foundational skills, supporting individuals who have progressed to making deliberate choices. Participants put their decision-making skills into practice, using appropriate devices to choose, direct, and comment on activities. These sessions introduce functional communication while fostering cooperation and a growing awareness of others. They also provide opportunities to consolidate early skills acquired in Level 1, creating a seamless progression in their communication and interaction journey.
