Speech Therapy for Voice Disorders in Menlo Park and San Jose, CA
Personalized Voice Therapy for Stronger, Clearer Communication
A voice disorder affects how your voice sounds, feels, or functions. Symptoms like persistent hoarseness, vocal strain, or breathiness can make it harder to speak clearly and may cause discomfort or frustration. Whether your child needs to strengthen their vocal functions or you’re an adult working to improve pitch, tone, or vocal stamina, Peninsula Associates Speech Therapy Services offers personalized voice therapy to help strengthen your voice, support vocal health, and improve speech clarity.
What Is a Voice Disorder?
Voice disorders happen when the vocal cords can’t function properly due to overuse, vocal nodules or polyps, muscle tension, neurological conditions, or structural differences in the vocal anatomy. These issues can affect pitch, loudness, stamina, or overall vocal quality.
At Peninsula Associates Speech Therapy Services, we work with your ENT to identify the root cause, whether physical, behavioral, or both, and create a custom treatment plan to restore vocal strength, comfort, and clarity.
Signs of a Voice Disorder
There is a wide range of voice disorders that affect children and adults, including:
- Voice that tires easily or fades throughout the day
- Chronic hoarseness or sore throat
- Trouble reaching a natural pitch or volume
- Voice that sounds rough, breathy, strained, or choppy
- Difficulty speaking for extended periods
- Throat tightness, pain, or the sensation of a lump when speaking or swallowing
confidently, and comfortably.
