Hi Melissa!

Great work with your Signs and Symptoms section. I think you've done a great job at succinctly presenting the information without any bias. I think your common symptoms list is really a clear way of expressing this information for a reader who is new to the topic.
A few notes of things you might consider.
For the List:
- I don't think you need the citation after "Common Symptoms Include:" because you can put that citation at the end of the point form list.
For the brief paragraph:
- can you provide an example of a compensatory strategy?
- "Increased voice use" might be vague to an uninformed reader
- because you haven't directly referenced Altman in name before, I don't think it's really necessary here. I think the sentence is just fine without "Altman noted that" as part of it.

You do well in the section to cover the variability of the symptoms and their occurrence. I think this is the most important message, and I immediately came away with that impression based on your writing.
Great work.

Thank you for your feedback! I will certainly change the citation location as you suggested and make the wording change. I also think it is a good idea to add an example of a compensatory strategy to help clarify what that means. Thanks again! Mel-SLP (talk) 15:45, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
