About Us

Tuning In: Autism is part of an ongoing research project at the University of Roehampton which explores the role of music for autistic children.

​

The research started as a doctoral research project in 2018 which looked how to support autistic children and their families. The research found that music can play an important role in helping to support communication and interaction for autistic children and their families. It also observed that music was an important outlet for play, and could support development for all children, regardless of language or communication ability. The Tuning In: Autism resources aim to empower parents and families to use music more in their everyday lives and unlock their child's musical creativity.   â€‹

What Parents Say

"Without communication skills, you really have to find other ways to connect with him. His instincts are always to play alone, so things like music where you can do it together is really great"

— Parent
