Which of the following is an NMT technique used to facilitate speech rehabilitation?

• A. Cadence Therapy
• B. Rhythmic Vocal Therapy
• C. Singing-speech Therapy
• D. None of the above

Answer: (C)

Singing-speech Therapy leverages melody and rhythm to support speech production. In Neurologic Music Therapy, this approach uses singing and musical prosody to prime language output, helping people with aphasia or other speech-motor difficulties access and shape spoken language. The singing elements recruit neural networks that support both timing and articulation, providing a bridge from melody to fluent speech and often improving intelligibility, pace, and natural rhythm. The other terms aren’t standard NMT techniques specifically aimed at speech rehabilitation. Cadence Therapy and Rhythmic Vocal Therapy aren’t recognized, and while rhythmic methods exist for motor rehabilitation, they aren’t the targeted speech-focused NMT technique described here.
