Pediatric Voice Program
Voice problems and voice disorders in children can have an emotional impact and can affect social development, scholastic performance and self-esteem. At the Pediatric Voice Program, we offer evaluation and treatment for children and adolescents who have complex voice problems. If your child is at least 3 years old and has a voice problem — such as vocal cord paralysis, chronic laryngitis, or a functional voice disorder — she may be a candidate for care through this program. Our goal is to create a nurturing environment for children and their families prior to, during and after each visit to our clinic.
