Abstract
Rhythmic movement intervention (RMI) offers a revolutionary approach to addressing the challenges faced by children with special needs. Utilizing rhythmic activities such as music, dance, and structured movement, RMI enhances physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. Grounded in theoretical frameworks like sensory integration theory and neurodevelopmental theory, RMI fosters body awareness, sensory processing, and social interaction. Research highlights its positive impact on proprioception, spatial awareness, motor skills, and emotional well-being. Future research directions include longitudinal studies, comparative research on different rhythmic activities, and targeted studies for specific subgroups. Overall, RMI serves as a beacon of hope, empowering children with special needs to navigate their journeys with confidence and adaptability, promising a brighter future where obstacles are transformed into opportunities.
