I would try to include people who have similar previous musical tastes- if singing is to be one of your goals. This information would be most likely gathered by family interview or checklist type questionnaire..I also would want to know what specific techniques the SLT had been using...good luck!shariSubject: asking for suggestions for MT speech/aphasia groupTo: "NYCCAT" <NYCCAT >, "music therapy list serve" Date: Friday, April 27, 2012, 11:15 AM
