Speak Out
SPEAK OUT!® Is an evidenced based speech therapy program for individuals with Parkinson’s disease that was developed by the Parkinson Voice Project. The program focuses on REGAINING and MAINTAINING speaking abilities. SPEAK OUT!® Is based on the principles of motor learning. It emphasizes speaking with intent and converts speech from an automatic function to an intentional act.
The program typically consists of 8-12 individual speech therapy sessions by a trained speech language pathologist which includes speech, voice, cognitive exercises and daily home practice.
