Title: Speech Pathologist
Post by: Jessika on June 10, 2015, 06:56:53 PM
Hi all,
Just wanted to say I was surprised I got an appointment for a Speech Pathologist at the end of June thru VA.
I just messaged the Dr I am seeing making sure he or she knew I was transgender and that I'm pursuing a Female Voice.
I'll hopefully get a response tomorrow. :)

That's pretty awesome! Without insurance they can be a pretty penny for sure.

This was the reply I got in the Messaging System...

QuoteGood Morning,
Yes, you will be meeting with <Name withheld> to evaluate your voice and communication styles to begin the transition to a female. She will meet with you for approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour. During the session she will review how your vocal cords work and variations on pitch and range.

I'm so excited.  ;D ;D woohoo
