Talk:Melodic intonation therapy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I do not agree with the part in the history section claiming: "there have not been many studies published that can truly support the effectiveness of MIT (Carroll 1996:12)". Melodic Intonation Therapy has proved to be effective in "well selected" aphasic patients with Broca's aphasia specially suffering from apraxia of speech. There is evidence from at least 8 languages including English, German, Dutch, French, Persian, Arabic, Romanian and Japanese to my knowledge. I will add the references soon. MIT is probably the only language therapy method that has undergone a clinical trial.
