Description:
This text offers a comprehensive and current review of the care of children with voice disorders. It includes an overview of anatomy and physiology of the pediatric laryngeal mechanism, associated neural controls and phonatory behavior across childhood. A thorough discussion of the etiologic correlates of pediatric voice disorders is provided. The spectrum of evaluation techniques ranging from basic to innovative high tech instrumentation is presented. Evidence driven treatment approaches for common as well as unique pediatric voice disorders is covered in a practical, case-based format. The central theme throughout this text is our focus on a truly integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to the care of children with voice disorders, yet the needs of the solo or school-based practitioner are addressed. A supplemental DVD with select practice materials in printable patient use format, color images of laryngeal pathologies, digital audio and video samples for perceptual rating practice with additional case studies are included.
