About this title

Review

Sally: Just to let you know - I'm currently teaching an undergrad course in voice disorders, and I want to tell you that I'm using selected portions of your book for my class and using the CD of the various case studies with voice disorders. The students love it! It's amazing to see the look on their faces when they hear for the 1st time the disorder we're discussing. You did a great job with this book!! I wish you much luck with it!
