_Melodic Intonation Therapy

Picture
_
(MIT) is a therapeutic process used by music therapists and speech pathologists to help patients with communication disorders caused by brain damage. This method uses a style of singing called melodic intonation to stimulate activity in the right hemisphere of the brain in order to assist in speech production. Recent evidence, however, suggests that rhythm may be the crucial MIT component: rhythmic speech may engage deeper brain areas known as the basal ganglia.


Interactive Metronome therapy

The IM program provides a structured, goal-oriented process that challenges the patient to synchronize a range of hand and foot exercises to a precise computer-generated reference tone heard through headphones. The patient attempts to match the rhythmic beat with repetitive motor actions. A patented auditory-visual guidance system provides immediate feedback measured in milliseconds, and a score is provided.

Over the course of the treatment, patients learn to:

Focus and attend for longer periods of time
Increase physical endurance and stamina
Filter out internal and external distractions
Improve ability to monitor mental and physical actions as they are occurring
Progressively improve coordinated performance.

Why Music Therapy? Music provides a positive and exciting medium for learning, healing, and transforming. Music therapy can greatly enhance the quality of life of the individual and his or her family. For children, music is often the first thing to which they relate. It is a "universal language" that crosses all cultural lines. For both children and adults with disabilities, music is a highly engaging activity which can also be used to achieve non-musical goals.

Music occurs naturally in our common environment-it is a socially appropriate activity and leisure skill, ideal for people who normally have difficulty with such skills. Music provides a predictable time-oriented and reality-oriented structure while offering opportunities for participation at one's own level of functioning and ability. Most people, adults and especially children, enjoy music-therefore, music therapy can be the primary therapy or the therapy that reinforces all other therapies.
