Woman singing to calm down children with autism

Question

I work with autistic children in a public school. I know how to sing and when I sing to the young children it helps to calm them down. Am I allowed as a woman to sing to these special needs children who are older, children in junior high school for example?

Answer

Shalom,

You are certainly permitted to sing to older children in order to calm them down
