101 Music Games for Children: Fun and Learning with Rhythm and Song (SmartFun Activity Books) by Ger Storms |
Music Therapy Groupwork with Special Needs Children: The Evolving Process by Karen D. Goodman |
In the first part of the book she looks in detail at those characteristics of autism, especially sensory integration problems, which are amenable to music therapy. In the second part she shows how, at a neurological level, the purity of sound itself can not only open a channel for communication but also effect lasting change in a way not open to other therapeutic modalities. She looks at the nature of music, and in particular melody, showing how the simplicity of music can be `understood' by a child with autism in a way that words cannot, and how this can lead to verbal communication once the patterns are established.
Vignettes throughout the book of music therapy work with children demonstrate the theory in action, and the last section of the book develops the practical application with action plans for music therapy interventions particularly suited for work with children with autism.
Intended primarily for professionals working with children with autism - not only music therapists but also those from other disciplines looking for effective interventions - the book will also be of considerable interest to parents.
