Speech
and Language Services
Speech therapy helps people who have trouble talking to other people.
The services we provide include evaluation and treatment of speech, language,
and hearing problems in children and adults. Our department works in conjunction
with the laryngologists and audiologists to improve communication abilities
of our patients. Speech therapy may be the only treatment needed for some
voice disorders and also is used to aid in recovery after surgery of the
larynx.
Computerized
Voice Analysis
The Texas Voice Center utilizes the latest in computer voice analysis
to pinpoint flaws in the singing and speaking voice. These tools aid the
staff in diagnosing all types of voice disorders.
The various components of the voice analyses display the results in visual
imagery. Subtle voice problems can be objectively diagnosed and progress
in voice therapy can be easily monitored by using this sensitive program.
Voice
Intervention
It has been said, "The voice is the barometer of the soul." Unhealthy vocal folds can play tricks on the ear causing us to sound old
when we are actually young, tired when we are rested, and ill when we
are healthy. The voice can be overused, misused, and abused with predictable
consequences. We can help you learn to prevent, reduce, and often eliminate
voice problems through simple intervention techniques.
