VODcast: Making Music

We can encourage our friends with autism to join in a jam session, even if they are not able to learn music in traditional ways. People who have difficulty concentrating or those who have very limited skills can make music playing instruments with open tuning or by following letter-cued or color-cued music. Joining in a music ensemble encourages personal interaction, appropriate behaviors, emotional expression, communication with others, creativity, and cooperative teamwork.
