{"value"=>"<p> <span class=\"title\">The Relationship of Dance Therapy Experience with Synchrony and Proximity in Autistic Children</span></p> <p>The purpose of this study was to examine the efficacy of dance therapy with autistic children. The literature review discusses behavioral characteristics and etiologic factors related to autism. Literature in dance and dance therapy identifies the origin of such a treatment as well as the therapeutic process. A correlational study examined the relationship between the independent variables: dance therapy experience, exposure to other creative arts, age, sex, and level of functioning and the dependent variables of synchrony and proximity. In order to estimate the possible effects of one on another, a multiple regression analysis was employed. The results demonstrate that dance therapy experience and age correlate significantly with synchronous movement. No significant correlations for proximity were established. The results suggest that dance therapy may enhance the autistic child's ability to by synchronous with others. This study supports the efficacy of dance therapy as a means to enhance socialization skills of autistic children.</p>"}
