The Institute for Interdisciplinary
Music- and Speech-Therapy is
planning to offer for a maximum for 100 therapists in the USA till 2023 trainings in San Diego starting in 2013. The training
will be conducted by Dr.
Monika Jungblut. This page addresses those,
who are interested in getting educated in the SIPARI®-method. The method is
a directed music-supported treatment approach developed to improve language
and speech capabilities of patients suffering from chronic aphasia. This
method is made up specifically of Singing, Intonation, Prosody, breathing (German: Atmung), Rhythm, and Improvisation as essential
elements.
Treatment
objectives using SIPARI® include improving linguistic, motor, and cognitive
functions and thereby supporting speech-motor processes and those
speech-systematic processes that encourage planning and sequencing
performance.
Since 2010 SIPARI® is
listed in the Cochrane Review “Music therapy for acquired brain
injury” in the category “communication” as the only
evidence-based method. ref.: Bradt J, Magee WL, Dileo C,
Wheeler BL, McGilloway E. Music therapy for
acquired brain injury. Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2010, Issue
7. Art. No.: CD006787. DOI: 10.1002/14651858. CD006787.pub2.
The education SIPARI®
I-IV is directed to those therapists with deep knowledge of
aphasia working in the field of neurological rehabilitation. Condition
precedent for the participation in this training is a postgraduate study in
the fields of music therapy, logopedics or
linguistic followed by a minimum of 3 year of therapeutical
occupation with aphasia patients. An additional requirement for the
participation is the knowledge of relevant clinical basics of aphasia and
speech perception, syndrome classification, aetiology, epidemiology, course
as well as concomitant symptoms. The training is structured in 4 parts
starting with two 2-day workshops followed by practical work with patients
for 6-9 months supervised by Dr. Jungblut and the
final 2-day examination course.
The
Institute for Interdisciplinary Music- and Speech-Therapy guarantees, that
the number of licensed SIPARI® therapists in the USA will be
limited to a maximum of 100 therapists till 2023.
The education is
structured as follows:
SIPARI® I:
introduction into the resource oriented and training centred
treatment concept. Basic theoretical fundamentals will be explained and the
parallels of speech- and music-perception will be demonstrated. As an essential part of the course participants
get to know musical effectiveness by playing instruments themselves or
using their own voice. Musical education is no compelling requirement.
However, participants should be willing to let themselves in for contact
with music actively and open-minded. Furthermore practical work with
patients on the basis of specific training situations will be demonstrated
in order to give an insight into the treatment repertoire.
SIPARI®
II: will impart
theoretical knowledge on the six components of the treatment method under
consideration of neurophysiologic as well as psychotherapeutical
aspects. There will also be an self-awareness part
and detailed practical demonstration of the different components of the
SIPARI® method thus preparing the participants for the practical work with
the patients.
SIPARI®
III: supervised
practical 6-9 months work with aphasia patients at the participant’s
institution, a period where the participants will gather experience with the
use of the SIPARI® method, submit regularly reports and video sequences of
their work to the trainer and get feedback. The fee for this course
includes supervision by Dr. Jungblut.
SIPARI® IV: is the
final qualification and certification course which consists of a
theoretical and practical examination (written test and oral case
description illustrated by video material showing the application of the
methodological principles of the SIPARI® method). After successful
examination a certificate will be given with the permission to
independently apply the method for a period of 3 years.
Supervision
courses: To assure quality control supervision courses are offered for
recertification at regular intervals which after successful completion will
allow the participants to continue their work with SIPARI® for another 3
years. These 3 day courses will update the knowledge of the participants
and improve their treatment repertoire.
