Η Μουσικοθεραπεία σε παιδιά με νοητική αναπηρία

Greek

Music therapy in children with mental disability

This paper aims to describe the effect of music therapy interventions on the
evolution of the social interaction of children with intellectual disabilities and to
review the results of relevant research. Children with intellectual disability or
similar developmental difficulties often fall short of non-verbal communication
and social skills from the early years, so they do not formally develop in a variety
of educational areas. In addition, children with mental retardation, with Rett
syndrome, and especially those who have problems with speech, may have - if
need be - special education in their social skills. The music is in the nature of
every human being. Using musical interventions, people with mental retardation
practice inherent abilities that children with disabilities have the opportunity to
develop during the most prosperous stage of life. Music therapy succeeds in
overcoming the difficulties in social interaction and communication while also
supporting the child emotionally. The music therapist overcomes the usual
verbal or visual therapeutic methods of education. The flexibility of
improvisation can reveal more of the child's needs: it reveals its previously
hidden potential. The aim of this work is to highlight the results of the
application of music therapy programs to the development of social,
communicative, cognitive and emotional abilities in children with intellectual
disabilities through literature and research.
