Abstract
Introduction: Among the problems of children with autism spectrum disorder is the presence of abnormalities in sensory processing and perceptual movement disorders that can cause many behavioral problems in this group of children. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of music-based therapy on rhythmic activity on visual visual perception of children with autism spectrum disorder.
Method: The present quasi-experimental research design was pre-test-post-test with control group. The statistical population of the study included all children with autism who were referred to childcare centers for autism in Tehran in 1398-1397, of which 30 boys aged 12-6 years with autism were referred to the Autism Second Center In April, Tehran was selected by targeted sampling method and divided into two groups of 15 people (experiments and controls). The experimental group was trained using a rhythmic activity-based music therapy program during 15 sessions of 45 minutes and 3 days a week, and the research data were collected using the Frostig visual perception test and by descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential ( Multivariate covariance analysis) was analyzed using SPSS.V.22 software.
Results: The results of data analysis showed that music-therapy based on rhythmic activities significantly increased and scores of eye motor coordination subscale (F = 07.07, P = 0.001), shape and background (F = 14.921). P = 0.001, shape stability (P = 0.828, P = 0.001), position in space (P = 4442, P = 0.001) as well as spatial relationships (F = 7.685). P = 0.001 The variables of motor visual perception of children with autism were tested in the control group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: Rhythmic activities with music as one of the active and available methods have positive and effective effects on the motor visual perception skills of children with autism and this program can be used to improve the motor visual perception skills of this group of children Showed.

Method: This study was a quasi-experimental study with pre-test and post-test with the control group. The statistical population consisted of all high school students (7-12 years) in Kerman City. A purposive method was used to select 30 subjects (15 experimental and 15 control). The experimental group received 10 sessions of 90-minute intervention. The control group received no training. Subjects responded to the Conners Parenting Questionnaire, Matson Social Skills Questionnaire, and Goldberg and Hiller General Health Questionnaire before and after the intervention. Subjects' scores were analyzed by covariance analysis using SPSS-25.

The mean and standard deviation of psychological health in the post-test of the experimental group increased from 18.46 (4.99) to 27.86 (4.45).
