In “The Therapeutic Effects of Singing in Neurological Disorders” by Catherine Y. Wan, Theodor Rüber, Anja Hohmann, and Gottfried Schlaug, they talk about how singing can affect people who have neurological disabilities such as Stuttering, Parkinson’s disease, and autism. The reason singing helps people who suffer from these diseases is because singing requires breath regulation and speech regulation which can help a person speak correctly and without something such as a stutter.
This article reminded me of my little brother who used to have a speech impediment. In the past he used to stutter and not be able to pronounce his L’s and T’s. Many times at home we would try to help him pronounce the words correctly but rarely did that ever work. However through the use of speech therapy and being involved in the schools chorus we noticed his speech improving significantly throughout this time.
