Meet Geoff Keith at the Lexsepta Special Needs Resource Fair #2: Who Is Geoff Keith

In case you’ve never read one of my blog posts, I’m an expert at teaching music to people with special needs:

  • 35+ years teaching experience
  • 8,000+ hours of teaching experience working with special needs students
  • Presenter at the 2019 and 2020 ABLE Assemblies
  • Wrote a music article series for the Dyslexic Reader
  • Graduated U-Mass Lowell, BA Music

I started working with students with dyslexia and ADHD back in the late ‘90s and branched out to other special needs students in the mid-2000s. Back then there was very little on learning disabilities in music education. So, I started to study material on learning disabilities in general education and converted that to music education.

  • This will give you the opportunity to meet me and ask questions.
  • Also, I’ll have information to hand out, but quantities are limited, so be sure to get there early.
