The Voice Monsters {Voice Therapy Techniques}

Wednesday, March 27, 2013

I was searching TpT and I realized there are not many resources for Voice Therapy. I know not many people deal with voice disorders, but last year I had 3 students with nodules on my caseload! Thus the inspiration for:

  2. Thank you CC! In my CFY I had 3 with voice disorders!! Now I only have one. I have been attending seminars, reading and practicing the last 3 years, so I figured I should share the knowledge and things I have been working on! :)
