Although research in support of music therapy is poor, it seems that music therapy can help children with autism.
Music therapy is used to help with behavior, sensory and motor skills, language, social skills, and self-help. This article reviewed research on whether or not music therapy can help children with autism. The authors note that much of the research on music therapy is flawed and needs to be improved in the future. One common flaw is that often the music therapist judges whether or not her own therapy worked. Also, there are no studies that look to see how music therapy compares to other types of therapy.
