Music Therapy for children with intellectual disabilities
Music Therapy for children with intellectual disabilities

Summary/Abstract: Music therapy has capacity to make positive changes in the psychological, physical, cognitive, or social functioning of individuals with health or educational problems. When the interdisciplinary nature of music, as it is used in music therapy, is fully understood, the treatment addresses improving motor, cognitive, affective and social skills. We show that this interdisciplinary aspect of music makes the therapy uniquely appropriate for disabled individuals because it supplements and reinforces other therapies and disciplines while implementing its own program.
