The Effect of Music vs. Nonmusic Paired with Gestures on Spontaneous Verbal and Nonverbal Communication Skills of Children with Autism Between the Ages 1-5
The purpose of this study was to determine if music vs. nonmusic paired with gestures increased the spontaneous verbal and nonverbal communication in children with autism between the ages 1-5. There was an experimental, music, n=5 group and a control, no music, group n=5. Data were graphically analyzed. The figures showed an increase in verbal responses for the music group. The verbal responses from the control group were inconsistent. Neither of the gestural scores indicated an increase, however the music group scored higher than the control group. Implications for replication are discussed.
A Thesis submitted to the School of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music.
