This study describes a novel system that links an electronic instrument called Cyber Musical Instrument with Score (Cymis) and a game device called Kinect to provide music therapy for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The system was developed to facilitate independent and active participation of children with ASD in music activities and teach them to integrate visual and audio sensory, motor, and physical awareness. The system combining Cymis and Kinect has been applied to both typically developing children and those with ASD, demonstrating that it can be used appropriately by either group. Preliminary studies indicate that the opportunity to “play” a familiar song by making desired movements can motivate children with ASD or similar cognitive symptoms to improve on-task behavior and collaborate effectively with a partner while the accompanying video images can be either motivating or distracting. The data obtained from these trials can be used for further empirical research and practical application of the system in music therapy for children with ASD.
