Hey Pandas, Do You Have Any Experience With Music Therapy Or Know Anyone/Seen It In Action? (Closed)
Yes - my younger brother is autistic and didn’t speak until he was 4/5. His speech therapist suggested group music therapy, and he learned to bang his name out on a drum and it was like a key had unlocked his ability for speech. He used the tapping out the syllables for a while as he got more confident with speaking, and now you wouldn’t even know there had been an issue. He now lives a great life, is married and has an incredible job. And he still plays the drums!
