Helping Your Child Find Their Voice with Voice Therapy in Alpharetta

Does your child ever sound hoarse, raspy, or lose their voice altogether? These could be signs of a voice disorder. At Bright Horizons Pediatric Speech Therapy in Roswell, GA, our experienced therapists offer specialized voice therapy to help Alpharetta children overcome voice problems and develop healthy vocal habits.

Understanding Voice Disorders in Children

What are Voice Disorders? A voice disorder is any condition that affects a child’s ability to produce voice, including its pitch, volume, or quality.
Common Voice Disorders in Children: There are many reasons a child might experience voice problems. Some common culprits include vocal cord nodules or polyps, muscle tension dysphonia (also called vocal cord dysfunction), and overuse (like yelling).
Laryngitis: This is a common inflammation of the voice box (larynx) that often causes hoarseness or complete voice loss. Laryngitis is usually temporary but can be a sign of an underlying voice disorder.

Early intervention is crucial for addressing voice disorders in children. If you suspect your child has a voice problem, consult a qualified speech-language pathologist (SLP) like Bright Horizons Pediatric Therapy for a comprehensive evaluation.
