Introduction: the Work-Related Voice Disorder Seminar: achievements and challenges in Latin America was held and the participants videos and slides were applied with the aim of understanding the achievements and challenges in recognizing work-related voice disorder (DVRT) ) in the guest countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Brazil). Description: categories of analysis were identified, considering, in addition to the challenges and achievements, the existing legislation in each of the countries represented at the event. All countries identified the teacher’s voice as representative of occupational diseases, also considering similarities in the environment and organization of the context of teaching work when comparing Brazil with other Latin American countries. The legislation, in most of them, is still ineffective. The speech therapist is the essential professional for planning and executing actions. Assistance to workers with DVRT in different countries is the responsibility of public or private institutions, mostly linked to the Ministry of Health. Final considerations: the similarities and differences found show the need for greater exchange of experiences between Latin American countries, with the aim of promoting the creation of a permanent forum for discussion and planning of multicenter research. Other countries should be invited to join this movement.
