Which of the following is NOT 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: (A)

Neurologic Music Therapy relies on rhythm, melody, and singing to engage speech and language networks and support their recovery. Rhythmic Vocal Therapy uses timed vocalization with rhythmic cues to improve speech timing and articulation, tapping into the brain’s auditory–motor connections to support fluent production. Singing-speech Therapy employs melodic or sung elements to access preserved neural pathways, helping with prosody and fluency and often transferring gains to spoken language. Cadence Therapy, while it may imply pacing, is not a standard, formally recognized NMT technique used for speech rehabilitation. Therefore, it is the option that does not fit as an NMT approach for facilitating speech rehab.
