Course “Vocal Disorders” explores the science and clinical aspects of voice production and pathology. Learners study hoarseness, dysphonia, laryngitis, and voice loss linked to vocal cords strain. The course also explains pitch control, breathing techniques, and voice care essentials for maintaining healthy speech production and communication effectiveness in clinical practice settings.
Module 1 to Module 3 focus on physiology of voice production, causes of voice disorder, and functional voice disorders. Students examine how vocal cords function, how strain develops, and how conditions like laryngitis and dysphonia affect speech. Speech therapy approaches are introduced to improve breathing, pitch, and vocal performance in clinical settings.
Module 4 and Module 5 cover voice therapy and principles of diagnosis and management of vocal disorders. Learners develop skills in speech therapy, improving breathing control, pitch regulation, and voice care strategies to treat hoarseness, dysphonia, and voice loss for effective long-term vocal health in clinical rehabilitation practice settings.
Learners can complete a mock exam to practice and assess their understanding before taking the final exam. The final multiple-choice exam is automatically marked, and learners must achieve at least 60% to pass. Successful learners receive a CPD-certified certificate.
