    Abstract
    This synthesis highlights the available physical activity interventions/programs for children with Down syndrome. More specifically, the literature review examined evidence-based research in the areas of dance and movement, balance and stability, two-wheel bicycle, strength and agility and barriers and facilitators. The literature review used peer-reviewed and scholarly articles in order to examine the most effective physical activity intervention/programs for children with Down syndrome. Results showed that all physical activity interventions/programs can be effective for children with Down syndrome, especially when developmentally appropriate modifications and adaptations are incorporated. Dance and movement programs, balance and stability exercises using virtual reality games, learning to ride a two-wheel bicycle and strength and agility interventions can enhance the whole child’s quality of life through participation and exposure.

      Family-centered music therapy in the hospitalization treatment of children: a systematic review

      Simpson-Abrams, Eva C. (2018-05)
      A family-centered approach is becoming more widely used in the treatment of hospitalized children. In general, the involvement of the family is becoming more of a focus during the treatment process in music therapy. Medical music therapy research has grown that examines the benefits of using music therapy in medical settings. However, there are few studies that examine the individual perspectives of children and parents experiencing hospitalization, and how family-centered music therapy addresses these specific, expressed needs. The aim of this systematic review is to examine the needs of parents and children in order to support the use of family-centered music therapy care in children’s hospitals and to further family-centered music therapy research. Thorough database searches were used to gather data for this review, which was then synthesized in order to create common themes. These themes reflect how researchers should approach future endeavors to understand the hospitalization experience and how family-centered music therapy studies should be conducted.

      An historical perspective of the unification of the american music therapy association: an oral history

      Hardy, Rachel A. (2018-12)
      This paper is an historical look at the unification of the National Association of Music Therapy (NAMT) and the American Association for Music Therapists (AAMT) to form the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA). Historical documents and existing literature were examined to set the context for the event, including the histories of both previous associations. Three individuals who played significant roles in the process of unification were interviewed about the process of unification as well as its comparison to present day decisions. Their perspectives and experiences are presented in this paper.

      Movement Therapy for School Age Children with Autism: A Review of the Literature

      Petersen, Susan C.; Bradish, Courtney; The College at Brockport (2017-12-18)
      One in every 68 children in the United States has autism spectrum disorder (ASD), affecting boys more than girls (4:1). Physical activity is important for children with ASD because it promotes life-long fitness and prevents chronic conditions. The purpose of this synthesis was to determine the most effective research-based movement therapy for children with autism, as well as discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each therapy presented. The literature review used peer-reviewed scholarly articles to examine evidencebased research in the areas of music therapy, dance therapy, yoga therapy and aquatic therapy. Results indicated family-centered music therapy (FCMT) improves the quality of social and parent-child interactions and a motivating social environment for preschool aged children. Yoga therapy displays positive effects for treating behavioral difficulties in elementary school children. Aquatic therapy was recommended for secondary children with ASD, due to the reductions in inappropriate behavior and increased on-task behavior. Recommendations for parents and physical educators include implementing activity schedules, performing tasks in sequential order, modifying instruction, modifying equipment and using visual aids. Overall, research indicated that dance therapy, music therapy, yoga therapy and aquatic therapy have advantages and disadvantages in treating children with ASD. Movement therapies can be used successfully for individuals with ASD but not every individual will experience the same benefits.
