Jan 20, 2022 · Success in music therapy for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is most often seen on an individual basis, but the result can be transformative for the person’s family, too.
We included studies that measured the effect of music therapy intervention (music listening, interactive or educational music therapy, improvisational music therapy, or mixed method), in children or adolescents (participants aged up to 18 years), diagnosed with ASD and/or another NDD.

One of the most researched music therapy methods for children with ASD is IMT. In this type of therapy, the child and the therapist play tuned and untuned musical instruments expressing rhythms, melodic patterns, and timbre. During the child’s musical play, the therapist introduces synchronization and communication with the child by mirroring or co...
In an effort to increase the engagement of children with ASD with members of their family, one important variant of IMT was developed, FCMT. This therapy shares the same principles as IMT; however, the FCMT technique is implemented within a family-centered framework. Each FCMT session usually includes a greeting song, specific music activities, fre...
Based on the premise that group-based therapy can improve overall social competence in individuals with ASD (Reichow et al. 2012), the main principles of IMT were extended to a group format by LaGasse (2014) to explore whether group-based musical therapy differed from a non-musical group-based therapy. The results revealed improvements in both grou...
Although a large percentage of individuals with ASD (25%) are non-verbal, few interventions are able to produce significant improvements in communication in these individuals (Wan et al. 2011). Educational experiences through songs suggest that singing might be useful due to their high-pitch perception and their ability to vocalize musically (Scott...
For the RCTs in this meta-analysis, most of the domains were evaluated as having a low risk of bias (allocation sequence concealment, incomplete outcome data, and selective outcome reporting of domains). Within the “allocation concealment” category, an unclear risk of bias was assigned to many of the reported studies due to unclear or absent descri...

Mar 9, 2021 · The researchers examined two processes, or “active ingredients”, typical to music-based interventions: joint engagement and movement. Joint engagement happens when a child and adult are involved in a shared activity, potentially interacting with each other around the activity.
Music therapy interventions may impact joint attention, memory, and visual recall of individuals with ASD (Kalas, 2012). Music therapy interventions may enhance auditory processing and other sensory/motor, perceptual/motor, or gross/fine motor skills in individuals with ASD (LaGasse & Hardy, 2013). Music therapy interventions based on family-
