ABSTRACT

This project develops an interactive, web-based music platform tailored for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). By allowing users to modify musical elements, it promotes participatory listening and captures data on preferences and engagement. The goal is to enhance enjoyment, social-emotional development, and inform music therapy and composition. The platform has potential applications in education, therapy, and beyond.
