Music: The Language of Autism?

Course: #5494Level: Introductory 1 Hour 41 Reviews

When autism was first observed and defined by Leo Kanner in 1943, he noted a particular precocious musical orientation in the young boys he studied. Current research demonstrates that many children with autism respond more frequently and appropriately to music than to other auditory stimuli. This course will provide participants with practical music experiences that can be used to optimize communication skills in children with ASD.
