About my project

Raag Therapy as Complementary Intervention For Pediatric Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Disorders

Pediatric neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Tourette’s Syndrome, Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), and Conduct Disorder (CD) present with complex challenges involving social, emotional, and cognitive functioning. Conventional intervention approaches in the west, and worldwide as well often include behavioral therapies, educational interventions, and pharmacological treatment. However, alternative and less conventional interventions have been growing in medicine as well. A major technique that has been used in treatment recently has been music therapy. This analysis will be particularly looking at raag therapy and its potential benefits.
