Speech therapy is generally helpful in all voice conditions. It can be especially helpful in children who use their voice aggressively or who are required to use a harsh aggressive attack with their voice because of their hoarseness. Techniques to encourage a comfortable initiation of voicing are taught to the child. Parents are also taught so that they can help the child practice at home.
