Special greeting songs help preschoolers with autism enter the classroom, greet the teacher, and start playing.
This study was deigned to see if greeting songs that were written specifically for a child with autism (original greeting song) could help that child start his school day. The study looked at two three-year-old boys. While the music therapist wrote the song, the teachers sang the two songs to the two boys. The songs not only helped the boys, but it also caused classmates to go up and greet the boys. The authors suggest that songs may be able to help children with autism work through other trouble spots in their day.
