Reducing Vocal Abuse: "I've Got to Be Me."

Burk, Kenneth W.; Brenner, Laurie E.

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, v22 n3 p173-78 1991

This paper emphasizes the importance of listening to the feelings of the adolescent with a voice disorder before beginning an action-oriented approach to creating voice changes. Use of a "behavioral contract" between therapist and student to reduce vocal abuse and excessive vocal use is suggested. (JDD)
