Speech Therapy for Children with Voice Disorders

www.speechandlanguagekids.com...
Let's take the "scary" out of treating voice disorders in children! Children with vocal nodules or polyps don't usually get to have fun materials to help reduce poor voice patterns and phonotrauma. Plus, we don't always feel competent in treating voice disorders because, let's be honest, grad school was a long time ago! Kristie Knickerbocker from A TEMPO Voice Center is joins us in this video to share 5 fun tips for working with pediatric voice clients.

Welcome to the Speechie Show! Being a speech language pathologist often means having too much work and not enough planning time. To beat the overwhelm, we’re bringing you the tricks and tools that will make your job a little bit easier.
Carrie: Hey everybody, welcome to the Speechie Show. I'm Carrie Clark from speechandlanguagekids.com and we are here with Kristie Knickerbocker from A Tempo Voice Center. How are you Kristie?
Kristie: I'm well, Carrie, how are you?
Carrie: I'm good. We're so glad to have you here. Today we are talking about what to do if you are not super jazzed about treating voice disorder children.

If you are new to the show, this is the Speechie Show. We do this once a week. I get on with another speech language pathologist and we talk about whatever comes up.

So are you having problems with nodules or polyps or maybe you don't even know. You're just having some voice problems with your students and you’re not even sure what’s going on. Go ahead and type that in so that we know what we're looking at today and if you have any specific questions we can answer those as well. While people are doing that, Kristie, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself and your business.
