Voice disorders can adversely affect communicative effectiveness, social development, scholastic performance, and self-esteem. Evaluation and treatment of pediatric voice disorders requires a multidisciplinary team approach, which includes a pediatric otolaryngologist and a speech-language pathologist. This program focuses on assessment of voice disorders in children ages 4–12, including laryngeal visualization and acoustic/ aerodynamic measures, as well as behavioral management in the form of voice therapy.
