Abstract: Initial teacher education (ITE) students experience voice problems while studying and subsequently in their careers with the potential to impact their teaching careers. Education about voice and vocal techniques required for teaching is not routine in teacher education. Speech-language pathology (SLP) programs require clients for voice-related training. This descriptive study considered student experiences and perceptions of benefit related to an SLP student-led voice clinic for ITE students. A cross-sectional survey revealed that 28.9% of ITE students presented with a voice problem on the Screen6, and 24.4% perceived themselves as vocally handicapped (VHI-10). Findings support the importance of routine screening of voice in ITE students, and that a student-led clinic may address preparation/training needs of both ITE and SLP students. • Teachers are occupational voice users who are at a high risk of developing voice problems. • The development of voice problems may occur before teachers commence their professional career. • Voice education and training may reduce the risk of vocational voice injury. • Tertiary institutions provide a unique opportunity for inter-program student collaboration.
