Musical instruments for the measurement of autism sensory disorders

Abstract

The analysis of sensory disorders in children with autism is a long process based on the observation of children in a specific environment. It cannot be treated frequently and monitoring the evolution of sensory disorders is either impossible or limited to a period of more than one year. The objective of our study is to define and then use dedicated musical instruments to perceive the intensity of children's responses to different stimuli in order to measure their sensory disorders.
