Speech, Voice, and Singing Therapy involves a trusting relationship between the therapist and the client. Along with perceptual assessment, that has long been the
gold-standard for the industry, advances in technology now allow the therapist to make objective voice measurements.

Using a GLE product suite in your therapy may allow you to:

Enhance your therapy by helping set baselines, key milestones and goals, and setting follow-up goals,

Help clients visualize their problems and progress,

Create “take-home” practice sessions,

Collect data on the effectiveness of your therapy programs and therapists

Collect objective data in clinical settings,

Backup any ASHA National Outcomes Measurement System (NOMS) reporting that you might undertake,

Fulfill your Medicare Part B Therapy Services Outcomes Reporting requirements.

The use of technology in the analysis and diagnosis stage, and the treatment of speech and voice disorders allow you to work easily with clients who speak different languages, who operate at different levels of comprehension or those who require motivation.

GLE’s products allow you to record, measure, display and archive objective, easily-interpreted results. The products allow measurable results in many important areas such as nasality, sub-glottal pressure (breath support), and articulation.

As more speech therapy programs get covered by insurance programs, showing objective measurements of progress may carry equal weight with perceptual assessment as well help prove intervention effectiveness. These results may be shared and duplicated by other specialists and service providers, allowing for coordinated, cross-specialty collaborations.

Yes. iPad based apps help in supporting therapy. GLE products offer an objective way to measure progress, set goals and baselines and visualize the dynamics of voice and speech.

Or, for example, an SLP in a hospital may want to use the PG20 as a part of a diagnosis, for accident victims or post-surgery patients, to establish whether a low volume in speech is due to physiological factors or psychological factors.

GLE products are not indicated for unsupervised home use. However, they may be used in a home setting under supervision of a qualified practitioner or caregiver.

6. Where I can find resources for use during therapy, or for my clients to take home to practice?
