Lee Silverman Voice Treatment Concepts
DAILY TASK # 1
● 4 days a week: 50-60 minute sessions
● Focus on:
○ Deep breathes
○ Open mouth
○ Improved articulation
○ Reduced rate
● Model to change behavior
● Minimize clinical explanations
● PUSH the patient
● SHAPING “Ah”: Change behavior through model- no explanations
○ “Do what I do”
○ Hands on visual cues
○ Push/Pull
○ Open mouth- over exaggerating
○ Relax shoulders
○ Modal pitch- may be slightly higher
● STABILIZE “AH”
○ Best “Ah” of the day, then practice
○ 15 successive times (minimum)
■ This ultimately builds: loudness, quality, duration, and
stimulating high effort
○ DO NOT: “As loud as you can”
○ DO: Loud “Ah” with good quality voice
○ First 10 minutes of session: short durations = more repetitions
○ NEED TO ESTABLISH GOOD “Ah”
■ In first week so patient know how to do this
● CONSIDERATIONS
○ No louder than 90dB/30cm for “Ah”
○ No louder than 80-85dB for speech
○ 15 second(s) “Ah” at 80 dB is better than 30 seconds at 60dB
