I am a graduate student in Speech and Language Pathology and am very intrigued by this thread. I recently evaluated an advanced PWS with severe blocking, prolongations, and secondary characteristics. However, he reported that when he sang in his band, he was fluent. Is it possible that singing therapy would help with rate control and easy onset if used like melodic intonation therapy for aphasia? Is there research in this area?
