How music can make a difference for children with ASD
Music is known to stimulate both hemispheres of our brain, particularly when a teacher uses a song or instrument to stimulate cognitive learning.
Children build self-awareness and improved relationships by sharing music with others. It allows children to interact more easily with others by ncommunicating through music
Singing & Listening
a child's interpretation of lyrics and sound also facilitates communication.
For children with autism, this could mean learning lyrics, or understanding how to act in a social situation. This can be achieved by incorporating messages hidden in song lyrics.
Although autism can create social barriers, by experiencing music and being involved in small musical groups, children are more likely to develop confidence enough to engage with others, sing, or dance with others.
This is achieved by stimulating their sensory systems, and enhancing their fine motor skills.
