| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of music education on social interaction in children diagnosed with autism, between music and non-music groups in both pre- and post-intervention of the experiment. The study was conducted with 30 children with various spectrum of autism, aged between 5 to 10 years old, who participated in group music therapy for a period of 8 weeks using music, musical activities and musical instruments conducted by a music educator using a music therapy module to guide the process. The Autism Social Skills Profile (ASSP) was used for this study to measure the participants' social interactions such as eye contact, object sharing, communication, and turn taking. Results show that the intervention group yields improvement in their social interaction skills. The outcome in combination with the observational method, provides evidence for the use of music intervention in specific areas. |
