Workshop Description

This intensive online training workshop with supplemental asynchronous self-guided pre-learning will train clinicians in the implementation of Phonation Resistance Training Exercises (PhoRTETM) to treat vocal aging (i.e., presbyphonia). PhoRTETM is a Level 1B voice therapy program to treat presbyphonia with two published prospective, randomized, and controlled clinical trials. The PhoRTETM voice therapy program is guided by principles of exercise physiology and motor learning with a strong emphasis on understanding the values of successful aging to promote communication, socialization, and vocation in the older adult population. This training workshop utilizes Socratic case-based learning, live demonstrations, and virtual hands-on opportunities to train clinicians so they can immediately start implementing PhoRTETM in their clinical practice.
