The researchers evaluated five target behaviors: joy, emotional synchronicity, initiation of engagement, compliant re- sponse, and no response.7 Kim, Wingram, and Gold found that the frequency of joy events steadily increased over the course of 12 sessions in music therapy conditions, whereas joy events remained stable at zero in toy play sessions.8 Similarly, children initi- ated engagement with the therapist more in music therapy than in toy therapy.	cache/elements-9353.pdf	txt/elements-9353.txt
