The potential of nasendoscopy as a visual feedback tool in therapy sessions for voice, velopharyngeal dysfunction and dysphagia is gradually being recognised. Lindsay Doidge and Daphne Carpenter work with clients with voice problems. Although encouraged by ENT colleagues and pioneering speech and language therapists, they were initially reluctant to introduce nasendoscopy due to its perceived invasiveness. However, with training and support, they now run a fortnightly clinic. The response of clients is discussed. Lindsay and Daphne are now helping other speech and language therapists to develop the required skills.
