Recent clinical research has demonstrated the strong neural sharing between music, speech, and language. This research has informed the clinical application Neurologic Music Therapy interventions for speech and language impairments. This presentation will cover the neuroanatomy of speech and language, the neuroscience of music, and the interventions for speech and language disorders. Presenters will also discuss the different treatment approaches from an inpatient to community-based program for a variety of populations, including Stroke, TBI, PD, and MS. The attendees will have an opportunity to workshop the interventions reviewed and learn how to apply these principles in their own practice.

Learning Objectives:

• Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the basic neuroanatomy of speech and language and the disorders that occur due to a neurologic injury or disease.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the neuroscience of music and how that transfers to the clinical application of neurologic music therapy interventions.
• Upon completion, participants will be able to understand the different treatment approaches for speech and language disorders across the care continuum including inpatient, outpatient and community-based programs.
• Upon completion, participants will have an opportunity to workshop neurologic music therapy interventions and learn how to apply these in their own practice.
