Therapy for Children and Adolescents

Voice Therapy
Changes to the sound of a child's voice can cause frustration or distress. They may find it more effortful to talk, and may avoid talking at times.

Therapy is more likely to be successful if the child has some awareness of any voice changes/difficulties and wants to change, however sometimes therapy can be successful through more passive exercises.

We are happy to work with your child's classroom, singing or speech and drama teachers to ensure optimal carryover and longevity of the therapy.

Therapy for Cough
Children may be frustrated by their cough, or they may not notice it at all! It can also be very frustrating for those around them. There are simple exercises that can break the cycle of chronic coughing and reduce the frequency.

Therapy for Breathing Difficulties (Paradoxical Vocal Fold Movement or Exercise Induced Laryngeal Obstruction) 
Exercises are tailored according to whether the breathing difficulties occur during rest or during exercise (or both).
