Abstract

Rett syndrome was first described in 1966 by Andreas Rett and, to date, has only been reported in girls. It is characterised by normal development from 6 to 18 months followed by a progressive loss of motor and cognitive skills and the development of stereotyped hand movements. Girls with Rett syndrome appear to be responsive to music. Using case study material Sarah Hill, a music therapist at a special school in Surrey, shows the value and relevance of music therapy.
