How much education is she getting while she cannot talk and cannot walk and is awaiting her own death? Do you think that listening to a song about prepositions is going to be a meaningful thing for her?

“Do you think that listening to a song about prepositions is going to be a meaningful thing for her?”

If she is enjoying it, and it gives her a sense of normalcy or routine in her life, I fail to see what is so bad about it. She is a suffering little girl, and if school gives her pleasure then I think it is a fine solution for her. I am sure that it gives the other children in her class an appreciation for how lucky they are, and how unfair some things in life can be.

I suspect her IEP has very specific goals related to life skills. Probably in the area of self care and feeding. But that's a guess since her IEP is not posted.

Is listening to a song about prepositions beneficial for any kid? Does the average adult need to know prepositions? Is it beneficial for her to know she is valued and loved and included in the fun of hearing music?
