A historical overview provided insight into the development ofthis disorder necessary to describe it properly. The study also focuses on variousintervention techniques which can be used by parents and teachers.In addition, the study focuses on the role of music education and music practice on thevarious developmental levels of the learner and how music can indeed affectrelaxation and be responsible for lifelong learning.It is recommended that the learners continue with mUSIC education, because itprovides them with a sense of success and it plays a vital role in the cognitivedevelopment of the learner.
