   This month's episode welcomes Anne, the inspiring founder of BECHILDLED—a pioneering initiative dedicated to transforming education for SEND and deaf children. Anne shares the personal journey that led to the creation of BECHILDLED and reveals the core philosophy that sets their approach apart in the world of special education.

Listeners will discover the unique ways BECHILDLED incorporates music into their teaching, hear heartwarming stories of transformation, and learn about the broader benefits of music for social, emotional, cognitive, and motor development. Anne also shares practical tips for bringing music into the lives of deaf and SEND children at home, and discusses the vital role of British Sign Language (BSL) and other communication methods in music education. From overcoming challenges in building BECHILDLED to celebrating recent successes, Anne’s insights are invaluable for anyone passionate about inclusive education. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or advocate, this episode offers encouragement, actionable advice, and a reminder that every child deserves the joy of learning, through music and beyond.
