Efficacy of neurologic music therapy motor interventions to improve motor skills, sensory integration, and social outcomes in children with autism
The purpose of this study program is to determine the benefits of music-based therapeutic techniques as compared to non-music-based therapeutic techniques to address motor skill development, sensory integration, and behavioural outcomes for children with autism. This study will help to discover possible challenges and benefits regarding music-based motor rehabilitation intervention. Furthermore, it will reveal foundational data about the potential benefits of such an intervention and help to determine if this intervention should be studied further in autistic children.
What’s involved:
This study will see qualifying participants receive free non-music-based or music-based motor interventions over the course of 7 weeks administered by a board certified music therapist. Individuals will participate in nine, 45-minute one-on-one sessions as well as pre-test, post-test, and retention tests. All sessions will be held on campus at the Music and Health Research Collaboratory located at 90 Wellesley W., Toronto
Compensation:
At full completion of the study, they will receive a $15 gift card.
