Alison Bagnall, Speech Therapist, Adelaide, has developed a technique which is highly successfult at getting rid of vocal nodules without surgery and without the need for extensive rest.
It deals, at the same time, with the two essential features of any succesful nodule therapy - 1) getting rid of the nodules and 2) reeducating the voice so that they do not recur. Alison can be contacted thorugh voice@s... She has also produced a video on working with nodules in children.
