The evaluation of the scientific methodological relevance of the flowchart was carried out by the expert consultation method, Delphi variant and the evaluation of the practical application by a pre - experimental study of a single group.

Results: most of the experts evaluated the theoretical and practical conception of the flow chart, the structural and methodological conception, the ranges of declared values, the actions developed in each vocal evaluation instrument and the existence of real possibilities of applying the flowchart. It was evidenced with the practical application of flowchart a decrease in the number of children with affected voices.
