Music Therapy & Autism Health & Special Psychology

Name: Zeronel

Comments: I am a social operator and I worked 4 years with 2 twins with autism spectrum disorder. We used a lot music (listening and dancing)and art (drawing, painting and so on)in the approach with them. I noticed that they were more relaxed after these activity and they had given us always a good participation in them. Every day I used always repeat the same sequence of activity to give them an help in understanding the time spending alone from their house.
