A Sound Judgement

By Jenni Oates and Alison Russell

This interactive CD ROM program is aimed at students and practitioners from disciplines involved in the care of the human voice to assist them to develop skills in perceptual analysis of voice and to understand the laryngeal physiology underlying different voice features. In a virtual clinic environment, users are able to listen to a range of voices, view dynamic endoscopic and animated images of the larynx, read clinical reports, make perceptual ratings of the voices, and receive expert feedback about their perceptual ratings. The program also provides background information on laryngeal anatomy and physiology, perceptual components of voice, vocal pathologies, and laryngeal endoscopy and stroboscopy.

A Sound Judgement was developed by Dr Jenni Oates and Dr Alison Russell and was supported by a National Teaching Development Grant from the Committee for the Advancement of University Teaching.

New Voice is an interactive CD-ROM by Alison Perry and Jenni Oates about laryngectomy speech rehabilitation. It is designed to illustrate the different options for communication after a total laryngectomy has occurred. There will be opportunities for you to evaluate clinical cases and decide which speech option 'best suits' which patient. New Voice aims to develop your skills in making clinical decisions for voice and speech rehabilitation with people who have undergone this surgery.

Stuttering Counts

This program has been developed for students and clinicians to enable them to learn accurately to identify various ways that stuttering can present. It also provides opportunities for learning to count the rate of speaking and to count the amount of stuttering present in various samples of speech. A rating tool is provided to enable clinicians to do this on-line in the clinic.

The rating tool is included in the Stuttering Counts educational resource, but has also been replicated as a standalone tool for clinicians who know how to identify stuttering and count speech rate.

Voice Care for Teachers - DVD
by Alison Russell, Jenni Oates and Cecilia Pemberton

Voice Care for Teachers - DVD

The Voice Care for Teachers DVD provides you with the information you need to look after your voice.

Teaching is a vocally demanding profession. Few teachers receive any advice on how to look after their voices. Research throughout the world has concluded that school teachers are three times more likely than the general population to develop voice problems, with up to 20% of teacher's experiencing voice problems each year.

The Voice Care for Teachers DVD has been designed to provide you with the information you need to look after your voice and help you prevent problems. It has been written and produced by speech pathologists: Dr. Alison Russell 9Adelaide), Ceclillia Pemberton (Sydney) and Dr. Jenni Oates (Melbourne) who have all worked extensively with teachers with voice problems.

For further informaiton or to order the DVD please visit the Voice Care for teachers web site.

In 1998, the Department of Education and Training (DET) in Victoria contracted Dr Jenni Oates to work with their Occupational Health and Safety Unit to develop a web-based educational program designed to promote vocal health and prevent voice problems in school teachers. The high prevalence of voice problems among teachers, the negative impact of such problems on teachers, students and the school system, and the preventable nature of most voice disorders had indicated to DET that allocating resources to develop an effective prevention and voice education program was warranted. The resulting Voice Care for Teachers Program was completed and implemented in schools throughout Victoria in 2000. The program is now also used widely by teachers in non-government schools and by other professionals who rely on an effective and reliable voice for their occupations (e.g., singers, actors, television and radio presenters, auctioneers, barristers etc). The Voice Care for Teachers program is comprised of 3 components:

  • Implementation Guide for School Management
  • Action Planning Guide with Voice Assessment Tools for Teachers
  • Voice Care Training Materials (Anatomy and Physiology of voice production, symptoms and causes of voice problems, effective voice production techniques, minimising harmful vocal behaviours, maximising physical and emotional health, optimising the physical school environment for healthy voice use).
