The Receptive Music Therapy (RMT) to Support Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: An Exploratory Case Study
Abstracts
This exploratory case study documents a music therapy intervention for a 5-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder, which primarily utilized the Receptive Music Therapy (RMT) approach to foster developmental skills. While centered on receptive techniques, the intervention flexibly incorporated active responses-including movement, vocalization, and singing-all designed based on the child's developmental level and interests. The author employed primary methodologies including literature review, a single-case experimental design (SCED), and mixed-methods data analysis. Data collected over five weeks suggest that a receptive-focused music therapy model can be a potential tool for supporting development in key areas. In communication and language, the structured musical environment appeared to encourage the child to articulate and vocalize, demonstrating a transition from receptive listening to active participation. Moreover, the child displayed increased instances of learned behaviors, social interactions, and more independent responses. Additionally, evidence of enhanced cognitive abilities was observed, demonstrated by memorizing lyrics and responding appropriately to musical cues. This study provides initial, observational data on an RMT-centered approach for salient aspects of autism in children. It highlights the need for continued research to further clarify the potential of this and other music therapy models to better meet the needs of autistic children.
