Music Therapy
Music Therapy according the America Music Therapy Association is "the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program."Music therapy is an effective means of working on language, skills, behavioral skills, and the social and emotional struggles that accompany the autism spectrum disorders.
Music therapy has also been found useful in helping individuals with anxiety and depression, as a means of helping to process and develop effective coping strategies.
