Managing Voice Disorders in Schools: Development of an Intervention Algorithm

Managing Voice Disorders in Schools: Development of an Intervention Algorithm

Children with voice disorders respond to therapy, given an appropriate diagnosis and intervention. This presentation will identify what is known about these children with voice disorders, differentiate what causes “hoarseness,” identify appropriate intervention options based on the child’s age and voice problem, and conclude with cast studies highlighting effective management.
