Below are quotes and stories that demonstrate the real-world impact of SPEAK OUT! Therapy. These testimonials may be used in approved media coverage with appropriate credit.

We went out to dinner with friends the other evening, and for the first time in ages, I was able to join in the conversations!

—Debbie, Georgia
I no longer feel left out of conversations.

—Susan, Vermont
With the arrival of grandchildren, I had looked forward to singing lullabies and nursery rhymes with them, but the best I could do was to perhaps hum a tune. Today, after only five weeks of practice I can feel and hear the positive effect of the SPEAK OUT! Therapy Exercises.

After the warm-up, I can sing a song all the way through. I feel confident again now. I sing around the house, and I lift my voice into the far corners of the family room when I’m standing by the stove cooking.

—Jackie, Arizona
I look forward to our group sessions on Mondays. New friends found.

—Mike, Dallas
I just wanted to thank the Sing-Along team for helping PD patients like me around the world in maintaining and regaining our speech and swallowing functions.

—Viola, Australia
One of the things I noticed since starting the SPEAK OUT! Therapy Program is I swallow my food much more easily. Before SPEAK OUT! Therapy, there would be times when I would swallow food, and it would get stuck in my esophagus, making it hard to breathe.

As you can imagine, I was experiencing a bit of anxiety. Since being in the program, this has not happened to me at all – NOT ONCE! It makes for a much more relaxing and enjoyable mealtime.

—Roger, Florida
My family and I thank you for giving me my voice back!

—John, New York
I cannot even put into words how thankful I am for Parkinson Voice Project. Thank you so much for giving me the tools to greatly improve my quality of life.

—Bruce, Kansas
To find my voice again is a GIFT.

—Colette, Texas
The weekly singing sessions are so awe inspiring that I can hardly find the words to describe them. The lyrics are funny and used with familiar music. What a JOY to see so many people come to join others to sing with INTENT!

—Steve, Texas
The SPEAK OUT! Therapy Program has given me the opportunity to maintain and now even hone my speaker’s voice, that master resource for connecting heartfully with other people–my wife and daughter, other family, friends, co- workers, or anyone.

I love the philosophy of speaking–and living–with INTENT. It means that wherever Parkinson’s takes me, I will have tools to fight for my greatest possible agency, agency to shape my life and give to others, all according to my values.

—Jim, Kansas
Thursdays are my favorite mornings because it’s my Parkinson’s Sing-Along Day!

—Allen, California
I am grateful for the SPEAK OUT! Therapy Program. I am making a difference for my future.

—Jeff, Nebraska
My mother-in-law has Parkinson’s and loves participating in your SPEAK OUT! Home Practice Sessions. You have given her more confidence, and we love joining in on the Parkinson’s Sing-Along with everyone.

Thanks for coming into our home every day and helping us strengthen our voices and speak with INTENT.

—Pia, California
You have given me so much hope that I will be able to communicate with my precious family.

—Alan, Australia
It was my pleasure to encourage donations to your organization in place of gifts during our 50th wedding anniversary celebration. Your program has made a significant difference in my life by helping me maintain and strengthen my voice.

—Bharat, California
Your SPEAK OUT! Home Practice Sessions serve a dual purpose, the ability to practice my speech and to learn about other options that will help me stay strong.

—Bonnie, New Jersey
I had someone ask me what the worst thing is about having Parkinson’s. I said I didn’t know the worst thing, but the best thing was finding Parkinson Voice Project.  

—Mike, Texas
