In the context of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), music therapy can support, among other objectives:
– the development of verbal and non-verbal communication
– relational engagement and social interaction
– emotional and sensory regulation

Music can be a particularly relevant medium for this population, as it offers a non-verbal form of expression and communication, helping to facilitate connection and achieve therapeutic goals.

Next April 7th, the Institute invites you to attend the launch of the Big Bang Band’s (BBB) 4th album, a musical group from Les Impatients.
