This study compared measures of social performance in children participating in a music therapy intervention program. Seven children aged between seven and nine years participated, six boys and one girl, as well as their parents. The instruments used were SSRS to assess social skills and IMTAP, only the social domain. The results did not show statistically significant differences between the measures evaluated. In the reassessment there was an increase in the scores by the IMTAP, on the other hand by the SSRS, there was a decrease in social skills in both versions - children and parents, in addition to an increase in scores problematic behavior. The parents' report indicated improvements in the emission of appropriate social behaviors.
