Abstract

During the first years of life, the pillars of human development are consolidated; for this reason, child development must be adequately stimulated, more so if we are dealing with disabilities or disorders. Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) require innovative treatments to rehabilitate and positively affect their quality of life. Thus, musical interventions imparted through early stimulation develop psychomotor aspects in children with ASD and become a nonverbal communication method which fosters a relationship with these members of society. Objective: To determine the influence of musical experiences as early stimulation activities for the psychomotor development of children with ASD at the Center for Child Development of the University of Cuenca, 2017. Methodology: The research method used is descriptive, quantitative with a quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test and a non-equivalent control group. The results were analyzed with statistic package SPSS 15.00; using frequencies, percentages and probability rate. The instrument that was used before and after the intervention was the scale for motor and cognitive assessment Brunet Lezine. Results: Within the intervention group, the effectiveness of the use of the musical experience was 11.60%, with a correlation of 0.975 and a significance of p 0.005.
