This study sought to see how a five-year-old girl diagnosed with autism
manifest behaviors when given music therapy sessions. These 25 sessions were
conducted within the months of November and December of last year, 2016.
Specifically, the study sought to find out what changes can be observed in the
behavioral patterns of the subject, a girl with autism, during music therapy
sessions particularly in the aspects of responsiveness, expressiveness, relational
tendencies, and emotional tendencies. They also wanted to find out if the music
therapy facilitators and the subject’s parent share the same general observations
on the behavioral patterns of the child with autism before and after the music
therapy sessions.
The study made use of qualitative research in the form of a case study on
a child with autism. Close observations were done while the researchers took
turns in facilitating music therapy sessions with the child in the convenience of
her own home. With the employ of music therapy, and close observations, the
researchers also interviewed a secondary participant, the child’s mother.
Based on the findings of this study, there was some kind of a potential for
music therapy to contribute significantly to behavior modification, particularly in
the aspects of responsiveness, expressiveness, relational tendencies, and
emotional tendencies. It is believed that such intervention can help decrease
undesirable traits, and increase desirable ones.
