1
LESSAC-MADSEN RESONANT VOICE THERAPY (LMRVT) -
Adults Kids -

• Course Description
• The course provides theoretical background and
  practical training in Lessac-Madsen Resonant
  Voice Therapy (LMRVT). This is an approach to
  voice therapy, appropriate for patients with
  hyper- and hypofunctional voice disorders.
• Highlights of LMRVT
• HOLISTIC, FUNCTIONAL EVIDENCE-BASED
• A target laryngeal configuration can be
  identified which tends to produce the strongest
  voice output using the least amount of pulmonary
  effort, and also coincides with relatively low
  vocal fold impact stresses.
• Funny approach of voice therapy for dysphonic
  kids
• The course will (1) cover the basic scientific
  information behind the premises (2) provide
  detailed step-by-step information about the
  implementation of LMRVT with both adults kids
  and (3) provide practical demonstrations of the
  approach in both English Cantonese (Dr. Karen
  Chan will be the Cantonese demonstrator).
