Autism Information
Autism Spectrum Disorders are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. According to the Centers for Disease Control, autism now affects 1 in 88 children, which means many of you have met or know of someone with autism. The causes of autism are still being researched and there are no known cures, although several treatments have been shown to be effective. Some effective autism therapy and treatments include Nutrition, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Sensory Integration, and Music Therapy.
Is there research to support music therapy with autism?
There is a large body of research supporting the use of music therapy for autism specturm disorder. We have compiled information, research and links about music therapy and autism on our NeuroRhythm Autism webpage, so be sure to check it out for lots of good information and resources.

Military Autism Coverage
NeuroRhythm was interviewed by News Channel 13 for a story on military autism services coverage. Currently, only active duty military have benefits that cover autism services. Retirees and wounded warriors do not have these benefits. Families are fighting for all military, regardless of duty status, to receive benefits for autism services. Music therapy is one autism service for which it is difficult to get military insurance coverage, but families and music therapists continue to fight for it.
