Hillsborough musician entertains — and teaches — special needs children and others at Bernards Township Library.
Ann Wild, a mother who also is a folk singer, said that special needs children and their parents often have few opportunities to just relax and have fun between the many "therapy" activities that are part of their weekly routine. But Wild's interactive musical performance and games with special needs children, scheduled on a regular basis at the Bernards Township Library, straddle the magical bridge between entertainment and learning skills.
