Using music to work with people on the autism spectrum

This course describes the use of music for working with children on the autism spectrum. While many of the techniques and reasoning behind their use is applicable to learners with other disabilities or even no disabilities at all, interacting with people on the autism spectrum using music can bring them into sharper focus. For people on the autism spectrum, music can be used as THE means of communication or to help organize the verbal communication skills they have as well as working with issues in the motoric, social, representation, and other areas.
