We are organizing a training titled "Lessac-Madsen Resonant Voice Therapy and Sound Adventure Journey Workshop" between 15-19 April 2024.
Dr. from the University of Delaware in the USA, known worldwide for his work in the field of voice therapy. Katherine Verdolini Abbout will meet with healthcare professionals in this field in five-day training sessions.
In the systematic voice therapy program, participants will have the opportunity to understand, discuss and apply voice therapy from the perspectives of biomechanics, biological, motor learning and patient adaptation. The course will cover evidence-based practice as well as the scientific foundations of utilizing intuition and creativity in the therapeutic process.
The five-day program, which will be open to general participation, will practically include each session and instructions of the therapy program, which lasts eight sessions in total. Simultaneous translation support will be provided to participants throughout the training.
Sound Adventure Journey (SMY): This program is a significant departure from traditional models of pediatric voice therapy. The ultimate goal of the program is to train children in the skills to speak out loud (when necessary) safely. While Skinnerian focuses on rewarding with the measured and careful use of voice suggested by the reinforcement model, SMY benefits from this approach and also includes the use of loud voices. All sessions of the program are handled practically step by step.
