\t\t\t\tThis is the third article in a three-part series on voice disorders.<\/i><\/p>\n
The last step for a person with a voice disorder is treatment. A variety of voice disorders are treated by an SLP (ASHA, 2005). The ultimate goal of a voice program is for the person to obtain improved vocal quality long-term, with little recurrence of the voice disorder (ASHA, 2005). The literature has established that voice therapy is effective for both adults and children (ASHA, 2005). A comprehensive voice program customizes the program to each patient and his\/her disorder.\u00a0 Activities may include stretches to release stress\/tension in muscles; breathing exercises; habits to support vocal health; and ways to change how a person is using his\/her voice to a more efficient pattern. Evergreen Speech and Hearing Clinic is excited to be expanding our voice program.\u00a0 Look for future blog posts with more information!<\/span><\/p>\n References:<\/p>\n
