Hi! Thank you for discussing the benefits of music therapy. While doing my practicum at a nursing home, I was fortunate enough to encounter firsthand the benefits that music had on my clients with dementia and CVA's. I learned about how music may be used to help PWS speak more fluently, but never encountered it. How would you suggest to use the skills acquired in therapy (speaking fluently with the aid of music) outside of the therapy room? Is there a way to use singing as a tool to help the PWS to get out of a block or other stuttering situation? Thank you, Beth Chalawsky
