Episode 46: Specialize in Voice Therapy with Aaron Ziegler, PhD, CCC-SLP Jan 28, 2020

Show notes

Voice therapy is an effective behavioral intervention for many causes of dysphonia. Despite training in voice therapy, students and clinicians often do not feel as confident in their ability to treat voice disorders as they do in treating other communication disorders. Furthermore, achieving expert clinician status is often considered only obtainable after years of clinical experience. Critical to becoming a voice therapist is developing knowledge and skills for programming and administering voice therapy. In this course, decision-making in voice therapy will be discussed within an evidence-based practice framework, and opportunities to gain expertise in voice therapy will be recommended.
