What Are SPEAK OUT! and LOUD Crowd?

SPEAK OUT! is a therapy program led by a trained speech-language pathologist for people with Parkinson’s disease. The program helps to improve speech and swallowing to the patient’s full potential and prevent decline. SPEAK OUT! consists of 12 sessions across four weeks, then the patient will progress to the LOUD Crowd.

LOUD Crowd is led by a trained speech-language pathologist in a group setting and meets once weekly.  Patients use skills gained during SPEAK OUT! to continue improving speaking, their ability to be heard and their overall quality of life.
