Speech-language pathologists must be aware of the latest developments to treat voice disorders and help their patients"

This Advanced Master’s Degree develops and explains in a specific and exhaustive way the main voice disorders and the most used vocal therapies to solve these pathologies from a speech therapy point of view. Although it must be taken into account that this is a multidisciplinary training, so there is the collaboration of professionals from other health areas that will help students to embark on this high-quality training. Speech-language pathologists, through this training, will acquire the knowledge and resources necessary to identify, evaluate and intervene in speech, language and communication disorders.

The latest advances in Speech Therapy, both clinical and educational , are giving an important twist to the new methodological approaches related to the detection, assessment and intervention in Speech, Language, and Communication Disorders, with increasing incidence in children and youth School population.

Knowing what the specific educational needs arising from speech disorders are, how to identify them, what is their idiosyncrasy in terms of signs or observable characteristics and what models of, both direct and indirect intervention, are the most appropriate, are all key aspects for any process of speech therapy re-education. 

In addition, it must be taken into account that professionals such as announcers, journalists, actors, singers, etc. SalespeopleSalespeople demand knowledge and management of their speaking apparatus, since its use is indispensable for their work. In this sense, it is also important to be aware of the multifactorial nature of the voice and its alterations. The changes that occur in the human voice over time are related, among other factors, to the maturation and development of the phonorespiratory system, as well as to its deterioration.
For all these reasons, knowledge about the use of one's own voice, programs for the prevention of disorders and Vocal Therapy applied to the use in different contexts, are crucial elements for the health, well-being and development of any speaker.

Throughout this training, the student will learn all of the current approaches to the different challenges posed by their profession. A high-level step that will become a process of improvement, not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level.
