This study explores the acoustic and perceptual consequences of the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) in two adults (a female and a male) with cerebral palsy. The session describes the tenets of this intensive speech treatment and analyzes the impact of increased loudness on the vocal function of these two speakers. Positive changes were found in most of the acoustic measures examined, as well as in the perceptual data, following treatment. Together with the perceptual data and previous positive outcomes of LSVT LOUD applied to CP, these findings motivate continued research in this area.
