Sounds, silences: the importance of music therapy for people with ASD: From theory to practice in

Music, whose power over the mind is undeniable, is widely used today as a relaxation technique by professionals. However, it tends to be greatly appreciated by individuals with ASD, which is why music therapy is one of the techniques that can best reach these individuals. The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how music therapy, as a therapeutic technique, can contribute to the integral and harmonious development of individuals with ASD in terms of good social, behavioural, cognitive and emotional integration. Those who give music its therapeutic character are music therapists, through the professional and systematic use of the various opportunities and experiences that music offers. Music therapists have a deep understanding of the structure of the material they work with, adapting it to the characteristics and pathological needs of the patients to whom their work is directed.
