Special Needs Audiences
Kids with unique needs require an entertainer who can engage them, make them smile, and get them involved in the music. Mrs. Kate has years of experience performing for children of various special needs. She has worked with VSA Arts of Florida for many years in serving in Artist Residencies and providing performances for festivals. She is a regular artist-in-residence at ARC of Nassau County, FL.
Letter of Recommendation from Angelwood Camp in Jacksonville, FL
"I could not have asked for a more
enthusiastic performance given by Mrs. Kate! Our campers have both mental and
physical disabilities and each and every camper was able to participate in Mrs.
Kate’s performance. Mrs. Kate was able get our volunteers, staff, and most
importantly our campers to interact with her show.
In particular, our campers that use sign
language to communicate were excited to have a performer use hand gestures with
a song! The campers all week were signing and requesting “Coon in a can,”
which is one of Mrs. Kate’s most popular songs. Campers that do not use sign
language were able to make noises and dance along with Mrs. Kate.
Mrs. Kate’s performance is well suited
for a special needs audience. It is especially hard to keep everyone’s
attention, but Mrs. Kate was definitely able to! I would recommend Mrs. Kate to
anyone who has a special needs audience."
