This is the book every new and non-voice specialist SLP needs.
Learning how to actually do voice therapy can be daunting-especially without access to a voice center, internship, or direct clinical mentorship. Voice Therapy 4-1-1 was written to fill that gap. Think of it as a clinical mentor in your pocket.
This practical, succinct guide teaches clinicians how to approach voice therapy with confidence, starting from the very first session. Written for clinicians by clinicians, Voice Therapy 4-1-1 focuses exclusively on voice therapy and speaks directly to the needs of new graduates, graduate students, and non-voice specialist speech-language pathologists. Rather than relying solely on branded programs, this book emphasizes the principles behind evidence-based voice therapy, empowering clinicians to adapt treatment to patient bioindividuality. Programs are tools-but it's the principles that make therapy effective.
Inside, you'll learn how to:Sit down with a patient and determine where and how to begin
Apply the core principles of voice therapy across diagnoses
Instruct, model, and cue techniques clearly and effectively
Educate patients and build self-awareness to support carryover
Expand your clinical toolbox beyond scripted protocols
Voice Therapy 4-1-1 delivers the nuts and bolts of voice therapy in a step-by-step, accessible format-without unnecessary theory or complexity. It meets a critical need in the profession with an affordable, intro-level handbook designed for real-world clinical use. If you don't have direct mentorship in voice therapy, this book gives you one.
