The following video shows a nine year old child with moderate to severe autism in the initial session of his work with the neuro music protocols.  His gait is unblanced and he has very little bilateral control.  In this example, he is asked to walk with his "knees high" in order to begin an awareness of when movement occurs.  He is willing, but his hips are not strong enough to faciliate; he know that in order to raise his knees he must bend them, but there is not enough muscle or coordination to succeed.

Following ten weeks of neuro music protocol session (3 sessions per week) the client is now walking much more rhythmically, and is able to do a bilateral knee slap....this was faciliated in order to mirror a normal gait in which right hand will move forward with left leg, and left hand will move forward with right leg, etc.

The intent of using these protocols is to utilize music to facilitate a particular goal, then graduatlly withdraw the music from the task and allow the goal to manifest within a non-musical environment.  In the preceding example, this client's normal gait became strong enough that he was succeed in more normal activities.  Two years following this video, he won second place in the track and field events of the local Special Olympics.
