چکیده
Design: A pre-test–post-test design was completed in order to determine if an extended Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) program (LSVT-X) results in significant increases to vocal sound pressure level (SPL) and significant functional improvement in communication. LSVT-X results for vocal SPL and a perceptual rating of speech were then compared with the results of a previous study examining traditional LSVT (Ramig, Sapir, Fox, & Countryman, 2001), to determine whether any changes observed were comparable to previous LSVT findings.
