In this unique text, ten cases of music therapy with autistic children (tamariki takiwātanga) are critiqued through the eyes of family members and other autism experts. Rickson uses her wealth of experience to contextualise their rich observations in a thorough review of research and practice literature, to illustrate the ways music therapists engage autistic children in the music therapy process, highlight the various ways music therapy can support their health and well-being, and demonstrate how music therapy processes align with good practice as outlined in the New Zealand Autism Spectrum Disorder Guideline.

Daphne Rickson is an Adjunct Professor in music therapy at Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. She has family experience of autism and has worked with many autistic children (tamariki takiwātanga) and their families. Her research focus has primarily involved critical analysis of the concept of disability and investigation into music as an inclusive resource.
