متن کاملMelodic Intonation Therapy: Back to Basics for Future Research
We present a critical review of the literature on melodic intonation therapy (MIT), one of the most formalized treatments used by speech-language therapist in Broca's aphasia. We suggest basic clarifications to enhance the scientific support of this promising treatment. First, therapeutic protocols using singing as a speech facilitation technique are not necessarily MIT. The goal of MIT is to r...

Our ongoing investigation of MIT's efficacy has provi...
