For decades Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT) has shown good potential within the aphasia population, yet has seldom been used as a frontline treatment, rather placed within a myriad of treatment techniques utilized during aphasia therapy. Debate continues regarding the mechanisms of change from MIT, both therapeutically and neurologically.
