Abstract

This study examined the effects of music intervention on performance of three activities of daily living (ADL) tasks by a child with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in the child’s preschool classroom at school. Researchers explored the impact of this intervention on the child’s ability to complete three self-care activities of daily living: putting on a jacket, handwashing, and eating with a spork.
