Voice treatment is often aimed at changing entrenched patterns of vocal misuse and strain. These problems respond very quickly to the correct treatment.
A course of treatment for a voice disorder might typically be four to six one-hour treatment sessions*. At the time of discharge the patient is provided with a full plan for continued improvement and maintenance of good voice.
Following-up with prescriptive activities and exercises after voice therapy is central to improving and maintaining good voice use.
*Please note: Number of treatment sessions are typical estimates. Amount of treatment may vary based on individual patient needs. The speech pathologist will provide specific information about each individual treatment plan.
