Music as a Therapy Option
9:30am – 12:00pm
Well established as an allied health profession in other countries, Music Therapy has yet to be better known in the Philippines as a therapeutic option. Studies reveal that most individuals with autism spectrum disorder respond positively to music -- making music interventions potentially effective when used within a therapeutic context. Music Therapy can encourage social interactions, increase attention and communication attempts, reduce anxiety and improve body coordination. Our session speaker will share what it is, why and how it works, why it is both an art and science, how it is carried out and benefits individuals with special needs.
