Two years ago, Sara Grode thought she might have to give up her career. A special education teacher for preschool students in the Madison School District, she could no longer use one of her classroom tools ? her voice. Years of overuse had worn it out.Desperate, Grode turned to the UW Vocal and Swallowing Clinic. During the summer of 2009, she attended weekly voice therapy sessions, learning new ways to speak, breathe and relax her throat muscles.
