Practice has found that music and therapeutics have become more and more closely related in recent years. Music can assist in the treatment of certain diseases and relieve stress. For example, people with autism have common symptoms such as social communication disorders, communication disorders, and interest disorders. Although patients live in their own worlds, they also have common ground where they like music is interested in music, and have a strong talent for music. Through innovative training through music therapy, they use Orff's teaching and Kodaly. The expression of music language in teaching method, combining music with treatment, can effectively improve symptoms, relieve mood, relax mood, and slowly return to healthy social life. Under the influence of the novel coronavirus epidemic, music therapy is more suitable for home treatment, establishing a social communication relationship between autism patients and families. Through consulting literature, practical activities, visits, surveys and other practical modes, this paper innovates and trains and studies the benefits of music therapy for people with autism, and puts forward reference suggestions for music therapy.

Abstract: The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak has had a global impact on all spheres of social life and population health. A study of the influence of a novel coronavirus infection COVID-19 on the working population health is an up-to-date issue. The objective is to assess changes in the morbidity with a temporary incapacity for work during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak. Methods. We have analyzed the data on the morbidity with a temporary incapacity for work obtained from the unified interdepartmental information and statistical system. The change in the rates in 2020 is determined regarding the long-run annual average over 2015-2019 years. We ranked the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Results. In 2020, there was an increase in all three indicators of a temporary incapacity for work nationwide and in all federal districts. We compared two indicators: “the number of days of temporary incapacity per 100 workers” and “the number of cases of temporary incapacity per 100 workers”. It has emerged that the first indicator is higher both nationwide and in all federal districts than the second one, which is typical for the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Conclusion. In 2020, there was an increase in the morbidity with a temporary incapacity for work in the Russian Federation as a whole and in all federal districts. It was evaluated according to the indicators: “the number of cases of temporary incapacity per 100 workers”, “the number of days of temporary incapacity per 100 workers” and “an average duration of a temporary incapacity for work”. There was a decrease in the number of cases and days of temporary incapacity for work per 100 employees in five constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Moreover, a decrease in the average duration of a single case was found in six regions. A reduction in the admission number may be the reason for an increase in the duration of a single case of a temporary incapacity for work. Additionally, the limited availability of an elective care is also a determining factor

Comparison Data

Purpose: Verbal and nonverbal conversational behaviors often are the target of intervention for adolescents with social communication disorders. There are, however, few sources of data on the interactive conversational behaviors of typically developing adolescents that can be used as guidelines when working with clinical populations. The purpose of this study was to collect behavioral data from conversations of adolescents so as to provide comparison data for adolescents with communication disorders. Method: Conversational behaviors were measured in 50 typically developing African American and Caucasian adolescents (24 females, 26 males) from the Midwest United States who engaged in extemporaneous, 3-minute conversations in dyads with peers. The effects of age, race, and sex of the participant were assessed. Results: Behaviors occurring at relatively high frequencies included directing gaze at the partner, particularly during listening; nodding and showing neutral and positive facial expressions; using back-channel responses; and giving contingent responses. Participants rarely showed negative emotions, turned away from each other, asked for clarification, or failed to answer questions. Overall, there were few effects of race and sex of the speaker and greater variability within than between groups. Clinical Implications: The data may serve as a source of information for clinicians serving individuals with communication disorders, with the caveat that the conversations included here represent a subset of typical adolescent interactive conversational behaviors.

A periodic state of rest accompanied by varying degrees of unconsciousness and relative inactivity is referred as sleep; in another way is a state in which an individual lacks conscious awareness of environment surroundings. Quality sleep and getting enough of it at the right times is as essential for survival just as food and water. Without sleep our brain can’t learn and create new memories, making it harder to concentrate and respond quickly. The Novel Coronavirus (also known as COVID-19) ushered the world into uncharted waters. In India, strict lockdown was imposed in three phases from March to June 2020 for the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic. At this juncture, we attempted to assess how derailment of social life due to imposed social isolation, leading to compromised sleep in the present scenario affects circadian driven sleep-wake pattern and other lifestyle related behaviour. A brief survey on affected sleep pattern of people during corona pandemic was conducted to understand the possible alterations in sleep-wake schedules and the daily routine related activities such as exposure time to digital media (i.e., TV, laptop/computer/mobile, etc.) as a consequence of lockdown.

Mask wearing plays a vital role in the fight against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Despite its ubiquity in everyday social life, it is still unknown how masked faces are mentally represented. Drawing on construal-level theory, we test the hypothesis that masked faces and unmasked faces are implicitly associated with psychological distance and proximity in memory, respectively. Four preregistered, high-powered experiments ( N = 354 adults) using the Implicit Association Test lend convergent support to this hypothesis across all four dimensions of psychological distance: social distance, spatial distance, temporal distance, and hypothetical distance. A mini meta-analysis validates the reliability of the findings (Hedge’s g = 0.46). The present work contributes to the growing literature on construal-level effects on implicit social cognition and enriches the current discussion on mask wearing in the pandemic and beyond.

Communication disorders are a common neurodevelopmental disorder. Difficulties are evident with structural language, phonology, and pragmatics. Each area is differentiated within current diagnostic approaches. However, difficulties within the language system often co-occur. The assessment of communication difficulties requires professionals to profile linguistic skills rather than rely on single diagnostic measures. Social communication disorders raise particular challenges in their assessment and their differentiation with other neurodevelopmental disorders. Communication disorders also co-occur, with problems in literacy and behavior highlighting the importance of multiprofessional approaches to assessment and intervention. There is an increasing evidence base for effective interventions that professionals can access to support children’s communication difficulties.
