Treatment and study plan

Melodic Intonation Therapy

Behavioral

Melodic Intonation Therapy uses intonation and melody to aid individuals with aphasia with producing words.

Video Feedback Performance Review

Behavioral

Participant will view recording to judge correct and incorrect productions of trained words and to identify motor techniques increasing intelligibility

Primary outcomes

  1. Intelligibility

    Time frame: From enrollment to 4 weeks post treatment

    Intelligibility as measured by percentage of consonants correct and by targets produced on trained and untrained stimuli. 20 trained and 20 untrained speech phrases that are relevant to the client (measured during reading and repetition tasks)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Apraxia Battery for Adults

    Time frame: Baseline and one week following the end of treatment

    A test to measure the presence and severity of apraxia in adults

  2. Assessment of Intelligibility of Dysarthria Speech

    Time frame: Baseline and one week following the end of treatment

    A tool for quantifying single-word intelligibility, sentence intelligibility, and speaking rate of adult speakers with dysarthria

  3. Longer Connected Speech Assessment

    Time frame: Baseline and one and four weeks following the end of treatment

    Change in Performance on Rainbow Passage- A public domain paragraph frequently used by speech-language pathologists to gather a speech sample of all phonemes for American English

  4. Quality of Life with Dysarthria (QOLdys)

    Time frame: Baseline and four weeks following treatments.

    A reliable and valid tool to assess quality of life for patients with dysarthria.
