Music Therapy for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder

Abstract

Music therapy is a technique with which we can address practically all types of people who have some type of disorder, whether from birth or acquired during their life. In this case we are going to use music therapy focused on autism, specifically for school age, from 6 to 12 years old. What we will try to do with these students is to achieve the maximum performance of their skills, feelings and so on, since they are children who do not respond to stimuli, do not know how to express their feelings adequately, do not develop motor skills correctly on their own, have serious problems to communicate, etc. The methodology will be based on documentary study to access parallels that make an accurate interpretation possible at the educational level. The models of response to stimuli are discussed, going through the maximum development of motor skills and the development of verbal competence, trying to observe the best way for the affected person to express feelings.
