Course Description

Designed for medical and voice-specialized SLPs, this interactive course explores how Estill Voice Training® enhances treatment specificity by linking voice targets to defined physiologic configurations. Participants will examine how Estill Figures and Options relate to common therapy approaches and support evidence-based clinical reasoning, carryover, and individualized treatment.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  1. Translate common voice therapy prompts into specific physiologic terms (i.e., Estill Figure Options)
  2. Apply an integrated implicit-explicit instructional approach to improve motor performance, learning, and carryover 
  3. Analyze voice attractor states using specific physiologic language rather than vague auditory-perceptual terms
  4. Use Estill-based anatomy and physiology to increase treatment precision and clinical decision-making.
