Hello!

As you all know, I have spent the last 7 years working at the Stephens House, developing and implementing programs for adults with developmental disabilities. I have worked to create success within the severe limitations these clients have and realize now their POTENTIAL not just their disability. As a result, I have been experimenting with adapted forms of art, movement, and music that have opened many doors for self-expression. My clients have been involved with several traveling art shows that many of you have seen. "Brilliance Revealed" and the "Art Concerto" series have been met with great acclaim and success. I also have taken these techniques to the "typical" functioning population with amazing results. I marvel at what I am seeing! When you add a strong musical stimulus to an artistic expression, the outcome is remarkable.

In my mind, we all have limitations that can potentially hold us back from ANYTHING we long to succeed in. As a result, I am adapting my Revelada concepts to reach many populations with enthusiasm and confidence. My desire is to bring these techniques to the corporate world by being a trainer inspiring team-building, communication and strategy planning. I have programming that will benefit people with memory loss and the geriatric population. I am currently expanding Revelada into all ages of students with Special Needs, preschools and instruction to school districts for all ages.

Please take a look at my web page for more information and the upcoming launch I have scheduled for 8/8/08. I am very excited to share it with you! The workshops have been carefully designed to motivate adults, children and people with developmental disabilities. The musicians playing are world class and the concert that follows will be one not to miss! Find more at www.revelada.net.

I will look forward to sharing more with you soon.
