Description
The improvement of function in preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) with the use of music interventions. Advocating for individuals who are on the spectrum and identify as autistic or neurodivergent is important, as autism spectrum disorder presents differently in each person. Music can be utilized in occupational therapy treatment plans to assist clients with sensory processing disorders. In occupational therapy, sound interventions are just one of the many creative interventions that can assist in keeping each session interesting while keeping each child engaged and displaying sensory challenges.
