This course will no longer be available nor registered with ASHA after 4/30/22.
The human larynx is ever-changing, from the first cries of infancy, through puberty, and until full its maturation at age 18. As such, treating voice disorders in pediatric patients can be tricky, and the early vocal habits of children will affect the health and potential of their larynges forever. In this workshop participants will learn how to do a thorough clinical/perceptual evaluation of the pediatric voice using developmentally meaningful methodologies. Participants will learn how to develop and execute treatment strategies which involve the entire family milieu, and be an advocate for vocal hygiene in the school and sports settings.
