Rehabilitation Treatment Specification System for Voice Therapy: Application to Everyday Clinical Care

CONCLUSIONS: The RTSS and the RTSS-Voice demonstrated strong content validity, as they comprehensively characterized 59 therapy sessions. They also demonstrated strong criterion validity, as commonalities and differences were identified in everyday voice therapy for vocal hyperfunction across multiple clinicians. Future work to translate RTSS principles and RTSS-Voice terms into clinical documentation can help to understand how clinician and patient variability impacts outcomes and bridge the research-practice gap.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24796875.PMID:38101322 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00283
