Treatment      objectives      using      SIPARI®      include      improving linguistic,      motor,      and      cognitive      functions      and      thereby supporting      speech-motor      processes      and      those      speech- systematic   processes   that   encourage   planning   and   sequencing performance. IIn   2010   SIPARI®   was   included   in   the   Cochrane   Review   “Music therapy      for      acquired      brain      injury”      in      the      category “communication”   as   the   only   evidence-based   method    ref.:   Bradt   J, Magee   WL,   Dileo   C,   Wheeler   BL,   McGilloway   E.   Music   therapy   for   acquired brain   injury.   Cochrane   Database   of   Systematic   Reviews   2010,   Issue   7.   Art.

SIPARI® II: will   impart   theoretical   knowledge   on   the   six   components   of   the treatment   method   taking   account   of   neurophysiological   as   well as     psychotherapeutical     aspects.     There     will     also     be     a     self- awareness    part    and    detailed    practical    demonstration    of    the different   components   of   the   SIPARI®   method,   thus   preparing   the participants for practical work with the patients. SIPARI® III: will    concentrate    on    supervised    practical    6    months’    work    with aphasia   patients   at   the   participant’s   institution,   a   period   where the    participants    will    gather    experience    with    the    use    of    the SIPARI®    method,    submit    reports    regularly    as    well    as    video sequences   of   their   work   to   the   trainer   and   get   feedback.   The   fee for this course includes supervision by Dr. Jungblut. SIPARI® IV: will    constitute    the    final    qualification    and    certification    course, which     consists     of     a     theoretical     and     practical     examination (written    test    and    oral    case    description    illustrated    by    video material      showing      the      application      of      the      methodological principles   of   the   SIPARI®   treatment).   After   successful   completion of   the   course,   a   certificate   will   be   given   with   the   permission   to independently apply the method for a period of 3 years. Supervision courses: in    order    to    assure    quality    control,    supervision    courses    are offered     for     recertification     at     regular     intervals,     which     after successful    completion    will    allow    the    participants    to    continue their   work   with   SIPARI®   for   another   3   years.   These   3-day   courses will   update   the   knowledge   of   the   participants   and   improve   their treatment repertoire.
