Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2007, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
It is a fact that voice pathology has an expressed frequent appearance in the last decades and the problem of voice disorders and their speech therapy assessment is not elaborated enough in the logopedical literature in Bulgaria and Macedonia. One of the basic factors on which treatment effectiveness depends is the correct diagnosis from logopedics point of view on which treatment program could be established. The purpose of the present article is to present a new instrument for a secondary voice assessment-an acoustic analysis of the voice as a part of Computerized Speech Lab (CSL) named Multi-Dimensional Voice Program (MDVP). There is no developed PhD on voice pathology the last 3 decades in Republic of Bulgaria. In comparison with language, fluency and articulation disorders, voice disorders are considerably ignored and neglected. The speech-language pathologists do not feel very well prepared to work with this kind of pathology.
