INTERVENTIONS

(Pre-referral/evaluation)

Assorted voice topics from SuperDuper, in English and Spanish.

For suspected vocal abuse/nodules.

Generic intervention form. I used this myself after giving teachers vocal hygiene strategies. I then took an S/Z ratio and phonation time probe every week as the data to turn in to the RTI team.

If a teacher comes to you with concerns over losing their voice in class.

Use with intervention documentation above, or separately. Data sheet for S/Z ratio and phonation time.
