The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which other communicative disorders coexist with voice disorders in school children. The authors randomly selected two voice deviant groups and a control group from a database of nearly 39,000 school children in grades 1–12. Hoarseness was the most commonly occurring voice disorder in both groups. The majority of voice disordered children had coexisting articulation deviations. In addition, the voice disordered samples differed significantly from controls on two language measures and mean pure-tone hearing thresholds. This study supports other research indicating that different communication disorders frequently coexist.
