Abstract
|
|
|
The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the important role of music in the treatment programme for autistic children, through a review of the literature.
It has been shown that autistic children who do not generally respond to verbal communication respond to music which is partially non-verbal.
The followings were suggested in the study:
1. Music has the soothing effect on the emotionally disturbed children. ,
2. Autistic children generally positively respond to music. Therefore, music can be used as a reinforcer in teaching.
3. Music in a rondo form can be applied to teach various skills activities. Teaching sign language for the children through the Orff´s schulwerk method was introduced as an example. and,
4. Music may be utilized to decrease stereotyped behaviors of autistic children. Thus, the rhythmic body movements of autistic children (stereotypes) may be expressed in a music session as a form of dance or physical exercise to the extend that the children get the similar effect of jogging which is known to have decremental effect on the behaviors.
