Behavioral Characteristics of Students with Diagnosed Vocal Disorders

This study was designed to explore the relationship between certain behavioral characteristics and diagnosed vocal disorders in a sample of school-age children. A set of behavioral rating scales was administered including the students' perceptions of home, school and peers, as well as teacher and parent perceptions of the student. The results indicated that the behavior of students with diagnosed vocal disorders, on the average, was within normal limits. The results are discussed in context with other research findings in this area.
