Objective: The purpose of this workshop is to present and demonstrate methods used to assess and reduce the perception of vocal tremor during speaking in those diagnosed with vocal tremor.

Methods/Design: Participants will be provided with handouts summarizing the methods of assessment and salient methods for facilitating reduced perception of vocal tremor during speaking. Preliminary information about best candidates for this treatment approach will also be presented. Finally, a patient demonstration of the methods used to evaluate the respiratory, phonatory, and vocal tract contributions to vocal tremor will be presented. In addition, methods for reducing the perception of vocal tremor during speaking will also be demonstrated.

Results/Conclusions: Upon completion of this workshop, participants will be able to identify, discuss, and perform assessment and speech treatment of individuals with vocal tremor.
