Communication disorders (CDs), such as aphasia and dysarthria resulting from Parkinson’s disease, can significantly hinder individuals’ abilities to express their thoughts and feelings. This can make everyday interactions—such as discussing important topics, participating in worship, or simply chatting with friends and family—challenging. Consequently, many individuals with CDs experience social isolation, which can exacerbate the challenges they face. Accessing essential community resources for nutrition, healthcare, and learning opportunities becomes difficult, further diminishing their overall wellbeing.

While group singing interventions are emerging as a promising method to enhance communication and social interaction, more scientific evidence is needed to establish their effectiveness for healthcare professionals and communities. This study aimed to contribute to this growing evidence base by evaluating the impact of a 12-week group singing intervention on communication and social wellbeing for individuals with shared communication disorders.
