Catering specifically to the male-to-female (MtF) transgendered population, the clinic at the College of St. Rose, in Albany, NY, attracts clients who live over an hour away.

Jack Pickering, PhD, CCC-SLP, associate professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the college initially was surprised by the willingness and motivation of clients to travel a significant distance to the clinic. "There just aren't a lot of services available," he said. "Voice disorders comprise a relatively small subspecialty in speech-language pathology, and working with transsexuals is an even smaller population within that subspecialty."

Hello!

I am currently a grad student and have 2 transgender voice clients this semester in clinic. I am looking for some helpful and practical ideas for working on pitch, resonance, and prosody.

Any suggestions would be fabulous!

Thanks,
Katie

I am looking for more information on training the transgender population in voice. This would include voice and pragmatics. Thank you for your time and effort.

Thank you for this article. I am a student working on my senior seminar which involves speech therapy for the transgendered client. I was wondering if you could give me a few, general statistics on the matter.
Thank you again,
Katrina
