Music Learning Helps Learning Difficulties

Music processing has been used as a tool to better understand Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Dyslexia from a neural perspective. The way in which the human brain processes sound has led to a greater understanding of how the human brain processes sensory information.

In all three disorders, the identification of inconsistencies and deficiencies with sound processing have enhanced our understanding of the neural behaviours associated with Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia. These fields of research are still fairly new but point to why music therapy and learning may have been effective in treating these three disorders.
