In the case of Rett syndrome, among the variety of possible goals that can be reached thanks to music-based interventions (associated to the different pathological manifestations of the syndrome), motor coordination has been chosen as one of the critical defcits characterizing the disorder. Literature supporting the benefts of musical activities when working with Rett syndrome patients are summarized and reasons highlighting why music might be particularly effective in this felds are discussed. An intensive training program implemented with a girl affected by Rett syndrome is described in detail and some activities carried out during the intervention are also exemplifed.
