After the patient and family
attend our "Introduction To Parkinson's Webinar," it is time to begin
SPEAK OUT! The program typically consists of eight to twelve speech therapy
sessions with daily home practice.
Together, the patient and speech-language pathologist complete
speech, voice and cognitive exercises using the SPEAK OUT! Workbook. Parkinson Voice Project provides a workbook to every person with Parkinson’s in the U.S.
who is receiving SPEAK OUT! Unfortunately, it is cost-prohibitive to ship
workbooks outside of the U.S. However, BOTH U.S. and Non-U.S.
patients can obtain free access to our SPEAK OUT! & LOUD Crowd
eLibrary. Your treating speech-language pathologist will give you a link
to access the eLibrary.
SPEAK OUT! emphasizes speaking
with intent and converts speech from an automatic function to an
intentional act. Upon graduation from SPEAK OUT!, patients transition to The
LOUD Crowd.
