The ultimate goal of the Min Yoongi Center and the MIND program is to help children with autism spectrum disorder grow into independent beings and healthy members of society through the medium of music, and to eliminate prejudice against patients with autism spectrum disorder and improve awareness of the disability through this.
MIND stands for:
Music – Enhancing interaction through musical and sensory experiences
Interaction – Facilitating communication and relationship-building
Network – Learning social dynamics in a community setting
Diversity – Embracing individual uniqueness and social integration
SUGA's Contribution
SUGA's Contribution
The program involves playing instruments, singing, writing lyrics, and expressing emotions through music and writing. Between March and June, SUGA personally participated in weekend sessions, playing instruments and helping children engage rhythmically and emotionally. He even taught them how to play instruments, encouraging self-expression and peer cooperation. The results were notable: children who previously showed limited verbal or emotional responses began to engage, express themselves, and collaborate with peers.
The MIND program proved effective in helping nonverbal or verbally limited children build social relationships and emotional awareness.
Looking ahead, the Min Yoongi Treatment Center aims to expand the MIND program, develop a sustainable music-based therapy model, and train professionals to maintain program quality.
SUGA read the book "Autism Spectrum Disorder" (over 500 pages) written by Professor Cheon before their meeting.
