A Case Report of Speech and Language Training for a Two-Year-Old Laryngectomized Child

Abstract

A three-stage speech and language training program is reported for a boy laryngectomized at 20 months of age. The goals of therapy were to teach esophageal sound productions, to teach articulation, and to give him practice in language expression. This therapy outline is offered for whatever value it may have in teaching other young laryngectomees.
