摘要

The prevalence of autism, especially in children, calls for professionals to develop more effective therapies for treatment. Music therapy has been used for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs) since 1940s, although its treatment effect remains to be discussed. The current review aims to investigate the techniques used by literatures in this domain and to determine the evidence base for music therapy in intervention for children with ASD. After searching relevant database, a total of 217 articles were identified and 17 of them met the review’s inclusion criterion. DSP method is wildly used in music therapy, with various ways to include the musical elements in treatment. In general, music interventions were found to have treatment effect in areas of communication, socialization and behavior of children with ASD. The implications of these findings in terms of the use of music interventions, issues related to generalization and future direction are discussed.
