SLP 535Voice & Pharyngeal Disorders

Catalog

An advanced course in the evaluation and treatment of voice and pharyngeal disorders. We start with normal voice and resonance, then discuss functional, organic and neurogenic voice and pharyngeal disorders. We then move to evaluation of the voice (on campus) and therapy for special populations. Finally, we discuss resonance disorders. Students are assumed to have a basic understanding of the vocal mechanism. (2 credits)
