Therapy: A collaborative
approach for the language development of young children
Music and the Brainhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVIiYyD2_YU
Music and the brain cont. Music stimulates areas of the brain that process:
Emotions, perceptual motor skills, stress and immune responses, cognition, and attention and memory
These sites include: Frontal lobe Parietal lobes Temporal lobes Cerebellum
The Brain Cont.
Common processing areas: Music and Language
Music processed in both right and left hemispheres Musicians process music more in the left brain,
whereas non-musicians process music more in the right brain.
Thalamus (motor cortex) Cerebellum (motor movement, some cognition, essential
long-term memory traces for motor learning Broca’s area is activated by familiar music, as well as
rhythm Wernicke’s areas is activated in the understanding of
lyrics Temporal lobe responsible for hearing perception Prefrontal Cortex
Speech & Language/Music
Collaborative Goals for Children with Speech and Language Disorders
Auditory training Development of speech Receptive and expressive language Emergent literacy Motor skills development Social skills development
Auditory Training Determining the presence or absence of
sound Determining whether sounds are the same or
different Recognition of sounds based on timbre Understanding of sounds
Development of SpeechFree vocalizationVocal imitationRhythmic vocalizationVocal phrasingVocal dynamics
Development of Receptive Language
Joint attention Following directions Imitation Concept development Memory
Development of Expressive Language
Vocal and verbal imitationVocabulary acquisitionSentence construction
• Syntax and morphology• Length of utterance• Sequencing of words
Emergent Literacy
Rhyme, rhythm, and repetitionExperiential learningConcept development (characters and
plot)Sequencing of events
Motor Skills DevelopmentImpulse controlMotor planningFeeling and replicating the beat
Social Skills DevelopmentSelf-expressionSelf-confidence Interpretation of social cuesPeer interaction
• Imitation• Turn taking
Collaboration in action! Funga Alafia or Wake Up Shake Up

Brain Storming! How could you use this in a natural or early
childhood setting?
When would you consult with or collaborate with an SLP and/or an MT?
