Abstract
This diverse group is described in relation to life stage, short- and long-range performance objectives, and lifestyle factors pertinent to vocal health. Physical, behavioral, cognitive, and psychosocial issues relevant to assessment and intervention will be addressed. The possible dissonance between a clinician's developmental perspective and a client's immediate pragmatic concerns is discussed. In addition, the specific challenges of dealing with adolescents (e.g., the influence of the peer group, the emergence of autonomy, the redefinition of relationships with significant adults, and the vulnerability of the mechanism) are related to clinical problem solving.
