This research tries to clarify how effective it is for a teacher to incorporate the idea of structuralization into the class of music learning for autistic children in order to reduce or eliminate their maladjustive behaviour. The presentation of visually structuralized devices of space and time such as "the meaning of a scene" and "the order of a learning program" to the children by a teacher supplements visual information to music learning which is basically dominated by auditory aspects. It promotes, in its turn, the children's comprehension of what is taught as well as giving them an incentive to learn. The present research is based on putting into practice the incorporation of the idea of structuralization developed by the TEACCH program. How the incorporation affected the behaviour of children was closely observed and the observation was analysed. As a result, it was proved that the incorporation enabled the children to participate more positively in the class and therefore motivated them to work hard.
