Voice disorders are a complex problem that includes the disorder of clear voice. The diversion
from the right voice characteristics is often not noticed either by the child or the environment
and a specialist is needed to recognize it. The aim of the present study is to investigate the voice
quality of disphonic children with objective and subjective methods before and after therapy,
during the automatization phase. In this research we analyzed the voice of four children with
functional disphonia (average age: 6;3 years) by objective measures. This was followed by twenty
non-expert respondents evaluating the voice quality of the children. The voice quality of three
children improved after the therapy but in the case of the fourth child, two phonetic parameters
showed deterioration. The evaluation of the respondents showed improvement for each child
based on the clearness of the voice and they found the voice quality less disturbing after therapy.
This research serves the better understanding of voice disorders in childhood.
