Various groups of people around the world benefit from music therapy treatments, and the area of communication difficulties is no exception. ...the purpose of this single case study was to examine the effects of music therapy as an early intervention based on structured and/or improvisational music therapy intervention with a threeyear-old nonverbal child. In early intervention, brain plasticity refers to the brain's ability to adapt and reorganise very easily (Flohr & Hodges, 2006). ...children under the age of six benefit from early intervention at this stage and have a better chance of reaching their potential. ...the use of musical elements could be of great importance in communicating with nonverbal children who, without the obvious communication tools that most of us use, need to learn other methods to express themselves. Because delayed speech development is an important indicator of potential later problems in the cognitive and social-emotional domains, and thus of learning disabilities (Gross et ah, 2010), it is necessary to begin intervention as early as possible. Based on the information gathered by the parents and therapist during the intake process, it was determined that the domains of receptive communication/auditory processing, expressive communication, and musicality should be assessed. ...the purpose of this study was to measure the child's level of functioning in the assessed targeted skill sets and to observe the trend of the results in order to check the effectiveness of music therapy strategies.
