Marie Jetté is currently a Clinical Fellow in speech-language pathology at the Center for Laryngeal Surgery and Voice Rehabilitation at the Massachusetts General Hospital. In addition to developing skills as a speech-language pathologist with professional supervision from the Voice Center’s experienced vocal pathologists, Ms. Jetté is actively involved in scientific research. Her clinical responsibilities include conducting acoustic and aerodynamic analysis of voice production, in addition to laryngeal endoscopy for vocal tract visualization. She provides voice therapy for a wide array of adult voice disorders, including those of organic, functional, and neurogenic etiology. Other areas of clinical development include management of laryngectomy patients with tracheoesophageal puncture and training of alaryngeal speech. Ms. Jetté is a certified clinician of the Lee Silverman Voice Therapy program, which focuses on improving functional communication for individuals with Parkinson Disease.
