Making theater spaces more accessible for performers and spectators who have intellectual and developmental disabilities is a major focus of Mollynook’s overall mission; and will be the focus of conversation for this year’s season. The guest for this premiere episode is John McCarthy, who is the interim dean of the College of Health Sciences and Professions at Ohio University. Bridging the topics of last season (AAC — Augmentative and Alternative Communication) and this one, he discusses how AAC and music therapy can work together to achieve communication goals for their participants; and other topics related to AAC, music, and performance.
