| Abstract | This study investigated the effectiveness of a voice therapy program for school-age children in Hong Kong. Twenty-four school-age children (16 males and 8 females), aged between 6.4 and 11.7 years, with dysphonia were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a no-treatment control group. The Experimental Group (N=14) received a voice therapy program which consisted of four weekly sessions with 30 minutes in each session. Children in the Control Group (N=10) did not receive any form of voice therapy. Perceptual evaluation and acoustic analysis of voice quality, children’s voice use knowledge, attitude and practice were also evaluated as outcome measures. There was no significant improvement found in perceptual evaluation and acoustic voice measurements. However, there was significant improvement in the voice use practice in the Experimental Group, and the improvement was maintained two weeks after treatment.
