  1. The findings of this updated review provide evidence that music therapy may help children with ASD to improve their skills in primary outcome areas that constitute the core of the condition including social interaction, verbal communication, initiating behaviour, and social‐emotional reciprocity.

  2. Regarding improvisational music therapy, we found few empirical findings supporting a positive effect of improvisational music therapy sessions on youths with NDD, but some findings appear interesting for children with ASD and/or ID.

  3. Among children with autism spectrum disorder, improvisational music therapy, compared with enhanced standard care, resulted in no significant difference in symptom severity based on the ADOS social affect domain over 5 months.

    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...
