The musical dimension of lalangue and its effects on the practice with children with autism

Abstract

This paper is the result of observations made from children with autism during a university extension course performed between the Mental Health network and the Psychology Service. We investigated the Lalangue relationship with music and established its contributions to the autism clinic. To this end, studies on psychology and music were employed. We used some reports from professionals’ experience and the work conducted with the extension group as material for investigation. The relationship of Lalangue with music is shown through the rhythmic games based on the presence or absence of sound during the time, bringing notable elements to the proper constitution of the participant, placing us before a diachrony, which is also present in Lalangue. Thus, we can say that studying this concept can help us understand the relationship of the primary participant with Another one, which is especially true in autism.
