Frith, Charlotte; And Others

Journal of Communication Disorders, v18 n6 p475-83 Dec 1985

Analysis of questionnaires completed by 116 laryngectomees revealed that extensive surgery did not lesson Ss' ability to learn esophageal speech. Educational level, socioeconomic status, length of time in speech therapy, and time since surgery did not statistically influence speech results. Ss still employed did achieve esophageal speech more often than unemployed Ss. (Author/CL)
