<p>This research project is aimed at answering the question: What forms of communication did a music therapy student use in her work with high school students who have special needs, and why? As communication is one of the primary goals for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other learning difficulties, (Gadberry 2011) I, as the music therapy student and researcher explored different forms of communication used in my practice and the reasoning behind them using Secondary Analysis of Data and Thematic Analysis. Forms of communication discussed include musical communication, social communication, direct instruction, gestures, key signs from New Zealand Sign Language, verbal communication, visual communication, technology and Augmentative and Alternative Communication systems, and combinations of each. The wide variety of reasons for my use of these forms of communication include, but are not limited to: supporting engagement, encouraging communication, promoting self-regulation, encouraging choice-making and turn-taking, supporting socialization and interaction and reinforcing behavioural messages. The research was informed by my clinical work on placement at a learning support centre for children with special needs at a high school. The concepts of music as therapy and music in therapy are explored in relation to music therapy work involving different forms of communication. My conclusions support the use of various forms of communication in music therapy in special needs education settings when aligned with a focus on music, improvisation and the individual participant.</p>

Children with special needs (ABK) who are enrolled in regular (public) schools will elicit empathy or negative behavior, because regular students cannot comprehend and tolerate the behavior of the ABK. The aim of the present study is to investigate the relationship between empathy and attitude towards ABK on students of a regular junior high school in Surabaya. Subjects are 11-16 year old students (N = 25) who have interacted with an ABK, obtained through total population study. Data was collected with scales for attitude towards ABK and empathy, and was further analyzed with a non-parametric Kendall's Tau-b correlation. Results showed values for r = .229 and p = .124 (p >.5), indicating a lack of correlation between empathy and attitude towards ABK on regular students of the junior high school. This lack of correlation was argued to be because attitude includes a cognitive component that acts as a source of information, and empathy of an individual is objective and situational. It was further argued that external factors such as experience, culture, learning process, direct contact, and information can also contribute to the lack of relationship between the two variables. Descriptively, a majority of subjects have a moderately positive to very positive attitude (92%) and empathy towards ABK was categorized as very high (96%).
