MUSIC AS A TOOL IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDERS (ASD): CASE REPORTS

Apresentação do caso

Child musicalisation has gradually gained importance as a music therapy tool in the approach of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This is a descriptive study, in which we used musicalization techniques in the school environment in early childhood education classes ( kindergarten 2 and 3) and elementary school (1st and 2nd grades) that had at least one child in the group with an ASD. Approaches were made through appropriate interventions guided by the specific characteristics of each ASD child observed in this study. Six children with ASD were followed for months by means of varied techniques of children's musicalisation in a collective setting, with the other children of the same age group who did not have ASD.

Discussão

The constant observation of these children allowed the analysis that music, in all its forms and possibilities, facilitated learning and neuropsychomotor development, as well as promoted greater social interaction among these children.

Comentários finais

It is believed that, due to its unique characteristic of brain stimulation, music stimulates neuroplasticity in the brain as a whole, breaking the barriers found in these children, providing an opportunity for better use of the music therapy classes/sessions, stimulating social interaction, speech, empathy, among others. However, it is worth pointing out the necessity and importance of conducting new research, since there are few studies on this subject.
