Transgender Voice Therapy – a subjective study of its effectiveness in transgender male to females.

I am a 4th year Speech and Language Therapy student carrying out a study to determine the areas in which transgender individuals consider Speech and Language therapy to be most effective. Commonly occurring focuses for therapy include pitch, resonance, articulation, non-verbal communication and articulation so it is important to find out which areas you as service users consider as helping you to achieve your own personal goals.
