Does Music Help With Aphasia?

On Thanksgiving Day of 2019, Lidia suffered from a basil ganglia intercerebral hemorrhagic stroke.
Aphasia is a language disorder commonly caused by a stroke or other brain injury which impacts a person's ability to communicate. The type and severity of aphasia are different for every person. Those with Broca's aphasia - or non-fluent aphasia - typically have restricted verbal output, relatively good auditory comprehension, and speech that is often slow & halting.
Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder that results in difficulty coordinating the muscles used to form speech. Both are commonly seen after damage to the left hemisphere of the brain.
Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) is an evidence-based treatment method that uses intoning (singing) to improve expressive language in people with aphasia. The approach takes advantage of the undamaged right hemisphere by engaging areas that are capable of language. It is thought that the melodic & rhythmic prosody, a slower rate of articulation, and continuous voicing that result from MIT may reduce the dependence on the left hemisphere.
We may have advanced beyond Melodic Intonation Therapy, but it doesn't stop us from using music. Every Friday night we work on our speech therapy through music.
We hope that you enjoy the video. Please feel free to support Lidia in her recovery by giving us a big thumbs up, sharing, and subscribing. Add your comments below if you had any botox injections to help with your spasticity or muscle tone.
