Most of us would agree that music can be a super groovy therapeutic ingredient, right? But according to researchers like Brieussel and team, SLPs may not know exactly how to implement it!
In our new research review “Tuning into the research behind music-based interventions for SLPs,” we discuss the cognitive neuroscience from Chen and colleagues that supports music-based interventions (MBI). Then we put it to work using Patel’s OPERA hypothesis, offering 5 critical questions we can ask ourselves to meaningfully integrate MBI into our SLP practice for aphasia, dyslexia, stuttering, and more.
