This book explores how music can improve skills that are impaired in some neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder), autism, and Rett syndrome. Rehabilitation interventions based on the use of music, termed "Music Therapy", are relatively widespread, but not all are supported by empirical evidence. This book offers readers an updated and scientifically grounded perspective on this theory and argues why music can effective in promoting the acquisition of some basic mental abilities. Chapters present some of the latest research and data on how musical activities can lead children affected by neurodevelopmental disorders to improve those skills, including examples of training programs and exercises. The book is addressed at therapists, rehabilitators, psychologists, educators, musicians, researchers, and any general readers interested in exploring the potential in music for human growth.
