Beskrivning
Music's ability to influence emotions and moods is universally acknowledged, and music therapists have long known that stimulating the brain through the auditory system is a key to obtaining remarkable responses. Music therapy is a particularly effective tool when working with children with autism spectrum conditions, because music communicates with these children on a level where mere words cannot go.Written in a way that is both informative for the professional and accessible for parents, this book furthers the already strong case for the use of music therapy as a resource to encourage behavioural changes for the better in children with autism spectrum conditions. Placing particular emphasis upon sensory integration, the author discusses contributing factors to the behaviour of people on the autism spectrum, and, through the use of case studies, presents the latest approaches in music therapy that are enabling children with autism spectrum conditions to better cope with sensory integration.

Recensioner i media

Dorita S. Berger interweaves the theories of sensory integration and music therapy to present a very practical basis for intervention with autistic children in an easy-to-read style. The chapters on sensory integration and the sensory systems give clear, refreshingly different descriptions of the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology underlying the theory.This book gives a valuable perspective on the relationship between music therapy and sensory integration in the process of intervention with the autistic child and makes one feel that a music therapist should be an essential member of the multidisciplinary team.
