Voice disorders are a common communication disorder in children. Behavioral voice therapy is recommended by both Otolaryngologists and Speech-Language Pathologists as a first-line approach for treatment of benign vocal fold lesions that affect children in large numbers. However, the role of cognitive mechanisms critical to voice therapy have not yet been explored. This proof-of-concept study aims to provide preliminary data on the potential relation between cognitive abilities and behavioral results of voice therapy for children with benign phonotraumatic vocal fold lesions. Six children (4;05–9;02 years) diagnosed with vocal fold nodules completed a battery of cognitive tests from the NEuroPSYchological (NEPSY-II) Assessment and a standard course of “Adventures in Voice” therapy. Recordings pre and post intervention were analyzed acoustically using the Cepstral Spectral Index of Dysphonia (CSID) and perceptually using a visual analog scale (VAS) for severity and resonance separately. Raw and age-corrected scaled scores from the NEPSY-II were then examined for their possible relation to voice outcomes. Multiple cognitive functions correlated with voice outcomes. Raw score measures for Design Fluency, Inhibition, Fingertip Tapping, and Narrative Memory correlated favorably with all voice outcome measures. Age correlated with all NEPSY-II raw scores and perceptual voice outcome measures. Scaled scores for Auditory Attention, Design Fluency, Fingertip Tapping (Dominant hand), and Narrative Memory correlated with all voice outcome measures. Results suggest that there is merit to further investigation of the relation between cognitive skills and their development and voice treatment outcomes in children with benign phonotraumatic lesions. Future studies with larger samples will build on present findings.
