Music and Autism

A practical approach on how to use musical activities
for children with ASD
Research has shown that from an early age, active music making, through quality
teaching, has a positive impact on a childs development. These areas include:
confidence, social inclusion, language skills, literacy, numeracy, intellectual
development, aural and visual memory, motor skills and self discipline.
Attendees will:
Gain music making ideas that are fun and rewarding.
Learn music and movement games to increase social interaction and communication.
Develop a creative approach by using a range of multi-sensory resources to engage
children and support imaginative thinking across the curriculum.
Consider ways in which music can be used more effectively to reduce anxiety and
support self discipline.
Discuss/share ideas that will support pupils throughout their day (e.g. transition).
Explore ways to adapt repertoire to make it more suitable for your pupils needs.
Be provided with new repertoire (Lead music sheets and a CD).
