Musicotherapy

Musical experience supports the child’s psycho-affective development as it provides a communicative channel. In fact, the sound world represents a particularly significant environment for the child with visual impairment. Music has a significant value in relational creation and mediation as it helps to convey emotional content, thus becoming an effective tool in the encounter with the child. Music can be proposed to support and facilitate rehabilitative and educational activities or as a music therapy pathway. In the absence of reciprocal gaze, a dialogue made of sounds (using the voice or musical instruments) can be a possibility of encounter and mirroring. Music, in its simplicity and richness of expression, becomes a common language in which to communicate and can bring everyone into contact with each other.
