A Case Study In Music Therapy:applyingsupra-segmental Features Into Autistic Childen With Language Disorders

Language is an important tool for our communication and exchange.It is also the main expression.Speech,vocabulary,and grammar constitute the language system.Voice,through a combination of different pitches,lengths,and timbres,constitutes a rich and varied modern voice system,and we can even judge what the other person wants to express through pitch.The special group of children with autism is a unique feature of speech development disorder,social interaction disorder,narrow interest range and repetitive stereotyped behaviors.Children with autism have different language abilities,but in this large group,about 50% of children do not have a communicative language,and children who have language often show parrot-like imitations.Good social or intimate relationships are difficult to establish for children with autism,and their social relations will be more difficult to develop.It is especially important for children with autism to be able to intervene with voice tones.This study was conducted for a period of 11 weeks of music therapy interventions targeting a child with autism.Based on the music therapy intervention design incorporating the features of the supersegmentation,the case study method A1-B-A2 was used to design the experiment,which will include the three phases of the baseline period,the intervention period,and the maintenance period of the entire research process.The author will use the questionnaire measurement method,observation method,interview method,and quantitative qualitative analysis methods to obtain the relevant data before and after the intervention in the experiment,and present the research results in the form of visual graphs and radar charts.research shows:1.In the process of intervention training,music therapy activities that incorporate the characteristics of the hypersegmentation have significant effects on the improvement of individual speech tones.2.The active cooperation and support of the family is one of the important factors in this study.3.Through music therapy interventions,the interpersonal abilities and language use abilities of the individual cases have been significantly improved.In terms of the core symptoms of speech and intonation,there have been outstanding performances in the basic questions(upgrading)and the practice of descending tune.In terms of accompanying problems,interactive language and active actions have been improved,but the effect of improving the use of vocabulary is not obvious.
