Project Description
Over 25,000 people are ASD diagnosed in Hong Kong, but there are only eight
schools aimed to support their social development. Since 2020, March to Your
Beat (MYB) is a youth-led non-profit community organization that has offered
percussion-based music therapy sessions to youth, aged 5 to 17, diagnosed
with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I am working to develop
percussion-based exercises, and pilot them so that other young musicians can
conduct therapy for their peers with ASD. The initial target is to benefit
youth with ASD across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
