Episode 34 - The Fatherhood Project

Thu, 31 Oct 2019 00:30:00 -0500

(Originally aired October 24, 2019)

The Executive Director of The Fatherhood Project, Dr. Raymond Levy calls in to share his expertise on the evolving nature of being a dad.

From thefatherhoodproject.org:

Millions of fathers today – some by choice, others out of necessity – are taking on larger and more diverse roles in parenting and family life. Recent research shows that fathers not only have the capacity for care giving, but that children benefit directly from dads’ parenting contributions.

Yet, more children than ever are growing up without a father in their lives.

According to a Pew Research Center analysis, more than 25 percent of fathers with children aged 18 years or younger now live apart from their children. Nearly one-third of such fathers report communicating with their children less than once a month, and 27 percent say they have not seen their children at all in the past year. A lack of involvement of fathers is associated with negative emotional, social, academic and behavioral outcomes for children. These outcomes result in high costs to society, including higher rates of crime, poverty, marital conflict and substance abuse.

No longer able to rely on the traditional roles, ‘father the breadwinner, mother the caretaker,’ modern men (and women) have the rare opportunity – and enormous challenge – of redefining a more involved and expanded version of fatherhood for generations to come. Findings from the rapidly growing science of early childhood and early brain development clearly show the positive, lifelong impact fathers can have by being engaged early in their children’s lives. The feeling of closeness to a father is critically linked to a child’s future success in school, employment, and relationships.

For the past 35 years, I have worked with a variety of clinical populations using music to enhance speech, language, cognition and movement in habilitation and rehabilitation settings. I have also developed protocols to reduce stress and anxiety for general wellness, surgical preparation, oncology treatments and child birthing. My doctoral studies in music and cognition have informed and supported my interest in bridging the communities of science and art in order to identify best practices.

In addition to my training in music therapy, I am also a Speech Language Pathologist (CCC-SLP). This certification has advanced the theoretical and clinical foundations from which I work and problem solve. I seek to find entry points to abilities nested in disability and be innovative to engineer skill advancement for improved function and quality of life.

I teach undergraduate and graduate courses at Berklee College of Music and The Boston Conservatory in music therapy, music education and liberal arts. This provides me the opportunity to bring clinical work into the classroom and academic resources to clinical work. I lecture locally and internationally about the neurological foundations for music perception and performance and the power of music as a therapeutic intervention.
