Synopsis: Speech and language impairments are one of the most challenging features of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Children with ASD are also known to be particularly responsive to music. This book makes a valuable connection between the two traits to showcase music as an effective way of enhancing the speech and language skills of children with ASD. This is a comprehensive guide to Dr. Hayoung Lims highly effective approach - Developmental Speech-Language Training through Music (DSLM). Part I provides a sound theoretical foundation and employs the most up-to-date research, including the authors own extensive study, to validate the use of music in speech and language training for children with ASD. Part II analyzes the clinical implications of DSLM protocols and explains in detail specific interventions that can be used with the approach. The practical application of DSLM to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Verbal Behavior (VB) approaches is also explored. This is essential reading for music therapists, speech and language pathologists and other professionals working with children with autism, as well as researchers and academics in the field.
