Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents a complex neurodevelopmental challenge impacting social interaction, communication, emotional expression, and cognitive abilities. The continuous rise of this population, this topic has become a growing interest for educational and governmental bodies to explore effective and innovative approaches to support those affected individuals. Researchers have suggested music education as an emerging technique due to its inherent appeal and multifaceted engagement. However, implementing music education as an intervention strategy is still a fertile area in the literature that demands more research and investigation before putting it into practice, therefore the purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of music education on the developmental skills of individuals with ASD. The research conducts a comprehensive review of case studies involving general music lessons, instrumental training, and integrated music in education. Through a detailed analysis across social, emotional, cognitive, and motor skill domains, the study unveils how music education fosters social interaction, emotional expression, concentration, and motor coordination among individuals with ASD. The immersive nature and universal appeal of music offer promising pathways to enhance developmental capabilities in this population. Synthesizing these findings underscores the positive impact of music education on ASD developmental skills, advocating for its integration into tailored intervention plans to optimize learning experiences. However, further research remains essential to establish precise links between music techniques and targeted developmental needs, facilitating the design of more effective and personalized intervention strategies.
