Speech Therapy Programs

Parkinson Voice Project-SPEAK OUT!®

This is the initial part of a two phase speech therapy program which includes the LOUD Crowd® aimed at helping individuals regain and maintain effective communication. SPEAK OUT!® places emphasis on speaking with intent and converting speech from an automatic function to an intentional act.  Each patient works directly with a speech-language pathologist through a 12 session individual therapy plan focusing on speech, voice, and cognitive exercises.  Physician order is required to participate.
