The assessment and management of children's voice disorders poses clinical challenges at many levels. Accurate diagnosis and treatment requires access to a range of tools and methods appropriate for use with paediatrics. The application of electrolaryngography to the management of children's voice disorders in a tertiary children's hospital is described, with examples drawn from four case studies. Measures of fundamental frequency, contact quotient, and irregularity are used routinely to clarify the nature of the vocal impairment and to evaluate treatment outcome. Real-time displays provide biofeedback to assist the development of new skills within therapy programmes.
