Music therapy is an interdisciplinary branch of science and a form of therapy which enables establishing contact with every human being by means of an aesthetic sound message. The aim of this paper is to present the influence of music therapy procedures on communicative and social areas of the development of children with multiple disabilities, namely two boys. Moreover, the research activity is also concentrated on the ways music influences particular cases, namely which chosen music therapy strategies. The article presents individualizing research in a qualitative dimension. The outline of the research project is presented with its problem matters, research objectives, methods (of individual case study), and research techniques, as well as a detailed description of the research tool - The Individualized Music Therapy Assessment Profile (IMTAP) recommended by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). The results presented in a detailed description and observation schedule as well as data collected from interviews demonstrates and, at the same time, answers the research question that music therapy is a useful and effective form of therapy in the case of two boys with multiple disabilitities – to improve social and communicative functioning of the their development.

Therapy Intervention

The paper presents a qualitative empirical research project, research design and research methods used in the preparation of a dissertation which deals with music therapy interventions in children with autism. The reason for examining this issue is a considerable lack of research activity in this area, and thus also a lack of relevant results on which clinical practice could rely. The results of future investigations should bring answers to the question of how children with autism receive and experience music therapy intervention and also what the effect of music therapy intervention in the social interaction of children is; research will be directed to a deeper understanding of this influence and its characteristics using the multiple case study design.

The Status

Background/Context A significant body of research on gender and sexual diversity in education has called on teachers to “move beyond inclusion” of LGBTQ+ voices in curriculum by queering their practice and “disrupting cis-heteronormativity.” Few studies have focused on the ways that disrupting cis-heteronormativity is challenging work for teachers to engage. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study In this case study, we focus on patterned moves that Laura, a first-grade teacher, made to disrupt cis-heteronormativity by supporting her students in cultivating what we call a “queer mindset”—a way of thinking, feeling, and doing that “rattles” her students’ common sense. Research Design The qualitative study reflects a nested case study design in which Laura represents an individual case within the broader case. Specifically, we use instrumental case study methodology. Conclusions/Recommendations To make good on the goal of disrupting cis-heteronormativity, we encourage educators to cultivate in their students ways of thinking, feeling, and doing that upend common sense and that challenge the status quo. We encourage educators to support their students in developing queer mindsets. This way, not only can educators support individual students, but they can also propel the kind of social transformation we want to see.

A maioria dos instrumentos avaliativos em Musicoterapia necessitam ter sua eficácia comprovada, direcionando as intervenções de forma condizente às necessidades do indivíduo. Portanto, investigou-se se uma série de atividades criadas para avaliar o domínio “Cognição” do protocolo IMTAP em relação a uma bateria formada pelos instrumentos psicológicos normalmente utilizados em avaliação cognitiva da leitura. Com base nas relações inferidas entre linguagem musical e a linguagem escrita e nos estudos sobre a intervenção musical na dislexia, explorou-se a possibilidade de que as crianças identificadas em risco de dislexia pudessem apresentar algum comprometimento no domínio “Cognição” do IMTAP, domínio que avalia o maior número de constructos similares aos itens avaliados nos instrumentos psicológicos. As expectativas do estudo, não foram confirmadas. As correlações de Pearson, embora tenham sido significativas, foram muito baixas, sugerindo que os constructos avaliados pelo IMTAP são diferentes dos construtos dos outros testes utilizados.

This chapter presents a case narrative to illustrate various aspects of working with children and adolescents in a Norwegian child welfare context. The sociocultural concept structuring resource is used to discuss the following research question: How can music function as a structuring resource in identity formation processes by adolescents using music therapy in a child welfare context? I present three different strategies that can be seen in relation to preparation of a United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child-oriented practice (UNCRC). First, I describe music therapy as a person-oriented strategy. Second, I propose a strategy of music therapy as a community-oriented strategy. The third strategy described is music therapy as citizen participation.

O autismo é uma condição do neurodesenvolvimento infantil que apresenta déficits na comunicação social recíproca e padrões restritivos e repetitivos do comportamento. A educação musical especial e a musicoterapia são duas formas importantes de intervenção para crianças com autismo, o que torna relevante a busca por instrumentos de mensuração capazes de avaliar seu desenvolvimento musical. O principal objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as evidências de validade da Escala de Desenvolvimento Musical de Crianças com Autismo (DEMUCA), por meio de quatro análises de validação: análise semântica, interexaminadores, de consistência interna e de consistência externa. A aplicação cega da escala foi feita por jurados que avaliaram 10 vídeos pré-filmados das primeiras e últimas sessões de musicoterapia de crianças com autismo. A análise semântica mostrou a importância de se esclarecer a conceituação de alguns itens e indicou não haver necessidade de outros itens. A análise interexaminadores indicou ótimas correlações entre todos jurados para todos os vídeos. A análise de consistência interna indicou ótima correlação entre itens e número adequado de itens na escala. Finalmente, a análise de consistência externa mostrou correlações satisfatórias entre a maioria das categorias semelhantes da Escala DEMUCA e da Escala Individualized Music Therapy Assessment Profiles (IMTAP), com indicações para futuros estudos. Conclui-se que os resultados oferecem fortes evidências para uso da Escala DEMUCA no Brasil, para avaliações do desenvolvimento musical de crianças com autismo.
