About the Workshop:
This workshop’s focus will be on techniques used to evaluate and treat voice disorders. Anatomy and physiology, voice production and common voice disorders will be reviewed before participants
practice perceptual evaluation skills, ear-training tasks and treatment strategies. Use of easily accessible acoustic evaluation tools will also be included. Pediatric and adult cases will be used to illustrate evaluation and treatment principles and techniques.
