Abstract
Design: The researchers implemented a retrospective observational cohort design for this study. Data were obtained from the University of Wisconsin – Madison Voice and Swallow Clinics Outcome Database. Allocation: All 62 patients included in the study completed voice therapy involving semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTE) and resonant voice therapy (RVT) and received education pertaining to vocal hygiene.
期刊介绍:
Evidence-Based Communication Assessment and Intervention (EBCAI) brings together professionals who work in clinical and educational practice as well as researchers from all disciplines to promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in serving individuals with communication impairments. The primary aims of EBCAI are to: Promote evidence-based practice (EBP) in communication assessment and intervention; Appraise the latest and best communication assessment and intervention studies so as to facilitate the use of research findings in clinical and educational practice; Provide a forum for discussions that advance EBP; and Disseminate research on EBP. We target speech-language pathologists, special educators, regular educators, applied behavior analysts, clinical psychologists, physical therapists, and occupational therapists who serve children or adults with communication impairments.
