This course is for speech-language pathologists looking to improve their knowledge and understanding of the voice, and how to apply these new skills to voice therapy. This course goes beyond auditory-perceptual strategies and incorporates an anatomic and physiologic framework for voice therapy using Estill Voice Training® methods. Established over 40 years ago by Jo Estill, the Estill Voice Model is a clear framework of voice production based on the anatomy and physiology of the vocal mechanism. A voice therapy approach that incorporates an anatomic and physiologic framework will increase your ability to create unique and specific voice targets for patients that help provide clear descriptions of how the voice works. You will feel more confident in your ability to assess and treat voice issues and your clients will feel more in control of their voice training and rehabilitation. This course also includes instructions on how to apply and utilize key motor learning principles to the therapy process, including the integration of implicit-explicit instruction, symbolic representation of the motor act, the combination of motor imagery and action observation, and transfer between Type 1 (optimal, automatic) and Type 2 (optimal, controlled) brain processing. This course will be taught by Dr. Cari Tellis and Joanna Lott, both SLPs and certified Estill Mentors & Course Instructors. They will share their clinical methods and provide demonstrations, evidence, and case studies. Previous Estill Voice Training® course attendance not required. ASHA CEUs will be provided.
