for patients suffering from chronic aphasia
Evidence-based music-supported therapy
for chronic aphasia patients
The Institute for Interdisciplinary Music- and Speech-Therapy offers trainings for a maximum of 100 therapists in the USA till 2025 in San Diego, CA. These trainings will be conducted by Dr. Monika Jungblut. This page addresses those, who are interested in getting trained in the SIPARI®-method. The method is a directed music-supported treatment approach developed to improve language and speech capabilities of patients suffering from chronic aphasia. This method is made up specifically of S inging, I ntonation, P rosody, breathing (German: A tmung), R hythm, and I mprovisation as essential elements.The training
SIPARI® I-IV:aims

a
postgraduate
study
in
the
fields
of
music
therapy,

of
3
years
of
therapeutical
occupation
with
aphasia
patients.
An
additional
requirement
for
participation
is
the
knowledge
of
relevant
clinical
basics
of
aphasia
and
speech
perception,
syndrome
classification,
aetiology,

pathogenesis
as
