Providing Gender-Affirming Voice Therapy (for SLPs and voice professionals)

This offering helps support speech-language pathologists and other voice professionals to begin (or continue) working with transgender and gender-diverse clients when providing gender-affirming voice therapy. There is no specific or prescribed curriculum, as this offering is meant to provide support to whatever degree each individual needs - whether you are just getting started thinking about these services or need support in more nuanced and specific areas. Topics covered can include (but are not limited to):​

  • Cultural considerations of working with transgender and gender-diverse clients (& how intersections with other marginalized identities influences treatment)

  • Foundations of voice intervention and possible targets/goal areas with gender-affirming voice therapy

  • Administering a comprehensive, identity-affirming, and client-centered assessment regardless of setting

  • Writing client-centered and identity-affirming S.M.A.R.T. treatment goals

  • Suggestions for intervention based on client goals, including mock treatment sessions and sample treatment schedules

  • Troubleshooting the "fine details" including working with insurance, billing, and creating sliding scales

Creating an Inclusive Clinical Space

This offering helps support individuals to create and maintain an environment that is inclusive and accommodating. It can be customized to work with those in a position of leadership hoping to create an inclusive and affirming workspace for employees, practice owners striving to create a practice accommodating for all people, or clinicians looking to modify traditional therapy practices to meet their clients where they are at. Topics covered can include (but are not limited to):

  • Development of practice-wide policies and procedures, from intake to discharge

  • Supporting different neurotypes and different models of learning, both in-clinic and in-office

  • Creating a work environment that works with your clinician's and employee's brains rather than against it

  • Incorporating executive function supports throughout your practice

  • Common accommodations and modifications, + how to brainstorm new ones to meet specific needs

  • Implementation of a sliding scale to increase accessibility without watching your practice go under

  • Modfying traditional therapy techniques to meet the needs of clients

Their goal is not to create little Clare clones, but to provide support for developing your own unique clinical style.

Some areas of support include (but are not limited to):

  • Skill training (Do you need help learning to match pitch or figuring out how to help your clients do it? Do you want practice with feedback or modeling resonance strategies?)

  • Case consultation

  • Support with development of client resources (handouts, videos)

  • Integrating gender-affirming voice with treatment of voice/upper airway disorders

  • Counseling techniques
