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.
