Voice problems are not common in young children, but can occur occasionally. If you have any concerns about the quality of your child’s voice ie: hoarseness, pitch breaks, unusually quiet and unable to use a loud voice, you should first see your doctor. Your doctor may then refer to an Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) specialist.
Another exceptional resource is the Provincial Voice Care Resource program. To contact them:
Provincial Voice Care Resource Program G&L Diamond Health Care Centre Vancouver General Hospital 4th Floor, 2775 Laurel Street Vancouver, BC V5Z 1M9 Phone: (604) 875-4204 Link: http://www.pvcrp.com
If speech therapy can be helpful to you and your child in resolving their voice concerns, either you or your doctor can make a referral.
R.E.S.T. Workshop
We received physiotherapy for our daughter who was being considered for a helmet for plagiocephaly. From our first appointment to our last, we received wonderful care. The staff at CTFRC were always very friendly, welcoming, and had a great spirit. The Physiotherapist was very kind, gentle and provided us with so much knowledge!
The outlet to have a professional available for help and advice and direction was key in our success, along with the tips, tools and education I received. They are so great at checking in and making sure I know there are supports, if necessary.
Having someone to talk me through the stages and calm my nerves about [my child's] development is what helped me the most. the sessions were always super informative and gave great advice on what to work on with [my child]. Just having the peace of mind that we were on the right track. I appreciate the service so much and I would recommend to any concerned parent!
