The Importance of Music Therapy as Integrative Practice in SUS for the Treatment of Autism Gabriel Geovany da Silva Cesar

Abstract

Abstract: This work aims to analyze the importance of music therapy as an integrative and complementary practice of the Unified Health System, in the treatment of autism through a literature review. A descriptive literature review study with a qualitative approach was carried out. We opted for a literature review, as it allowed us to gather the most in-depth knowledge about the theme and the bibliographic search took place through the internet, in the databases of Latin American Literature in Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO). As a complementary way, a search for scientific articles was carried out on Google Scholar. Thus, the importance of this study is emphasized, since the updated knowledge about music therapy in the treatment of autism will allow the recognition of this alternative practice in the SUS, increasing the adherence of family members in the non-pharmacological treatment of ASD.
