What to Expect: The Voice and Communication Workshop is an introductory workshop open to voice and non-voice clinicians of all experience levels. It provides a detailed overview of gender affirming voice and communication training, including a framework for assessment, training techniques, counseling, and cultural responsiveness considerations. Gender affirming voice care across other disciplines will also be briefly covered: Pitch-raising surgery, testosterone therapy, psychotherapy, music therapy, and singing training. Experts from multiple specialties will give didactic presentations and interact via a panel discussion.
Participation: Attendees must be available to attend the live session “in-person” on Saturday, June 25, 2022, from 11:00am – 12:00pm ET to complete the Voice & Communication Workshop. Attendees are required to watch the recorded presentations prior to the live session.
