A Scoping Review of Community Music Projects for Adolescents and Young Adults with ASD
Keywords:
community music projects, autism spectrum disorder, adolescents, young adultsAbstract
The transition after graduation poses significant psychosocial challenges for adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), often exacerbated by the immediate cessation of services and support. Community music projects are one way to support and help adolescents with autism spectrum disorder who are adjusting and transitioning from school to the workforce. This study aimed to explore the current practices of community music projects, examine the indications, and provide practical information for music therapists, community leaders, and care providers by reviewing relevant literature on community music projects for adolescents and adults with ASD. Out of 784 studies screened, 15 met the inclusion criteria. The research findings revealed that community music projects were primarily reported in the United States. The nature of the projects was diverse, and adolescents and young adults had a demand for community music projects. The strategies for implementing these projects offered valuable insights for future research. The in-depth analysis demonstrated the involvement of the process in organizing music projects, which resulted in outcomes that helped adolescents adapt better. These strategies should be further developed for future research to continue benefiting future generations.
