Introduction: Educational materials on voice care support in clinical care and dysphonia prevention, however, are scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to elaborate and evaluate a guide on child vocal health for parents and children. Description: The elaboration of the guide covered: Bibliographic Survey in the databases Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) and and MEDLINE Public/Publisher (Pubmed); Themes writing; Organization/writing of the contents/references; Selection of images. Structure of the guide: Voice production; Most common signs/symptoms of vocal disorders; Causes of voice disorders in childhood; Consequences of voice disorders in childhood; Professionals involved in diagnosis and treatment; Myth and Truth about voice; How to prevent vocal disorder in childhood; Voice-friendly activities. The evaluation was in a focus group, via Google Meet, with three Master Judges in Speech Therapy, who discussed qualitatively aesthetics, content and organization. The discussion was coordinated by the co-supervisor and the following recommendations were consensus among the judges: Aesthetics - adjust location of references, elaborate track game, standardize drawings/colors and, create mascot; Content - relevant material, decrease texts, tailor language for children, use/QR-Code links for extra information and, add guidance for teachers; Organization - topics in hierarchical order, content according to theme and separate subjects by chapters. Final Considerations: Improvements were pointed out, however, the judges emphasized the importance of this material in the speech therapy clinic and vocal health promotion. The focus group was important for the guide’s first evaluation.
