ABSTRACT
Music therapy has been used to treat individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) for a long period of time. As the development of technologies, both patients and therapists benefit from technological applications. This literature reviews music therapy and its effects on autism people, along with the classifications of technologies used by music therapists and their applications. With regard to the review work, discussion is drawn on challenges that therapists are facing toward technologies, including lack of education and training as well as complicated interface of technologies.
