Kevin and Me is a heartfelt memoir of a single mother who struggled with her son's Tourette Syndrome and discovered music therapy as a magical influence on him and their relationship. Her courageous story covers Kevin's life from age six when his TS tics first appeared to his late twenties when he transformed from a violent man into a peaceful person.

The author related her personal account of music therapy with Kevin, a person with Tourette Syndrome, developmental and learning disabilities, ADHD, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Kevin and Me will inspire parents, psychologists, teachers, and medical professionals to explore music therapy as a medium for reaching children and adults with Tourette Syndrome. Modern music therapy begins after World War I and slowly gained acceptance in mainstream medical circles. Music Therapy services are available in private centers, hospitals and school districts.
