The SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, developed by Parkinson Voice Project, helps people with Parkinson’s and related neurological disorders regain and retain their speech and swallowing. This highly effective, evidence-based treatment combines education, individual and group speech therapy, daily home practice, and continuous follow-ups. Patients are empowered to “speak with INTENT,” transitioning speech from an automatic function to an intentional act.
The SPEAK OUT! Therapy Grant Program provides free or discounted training and therapy material to speech-language pathologists, universities, and other clinics worldwide. We want our SPEAK OUT! Therapy Program to be accessible to patients and families everywhere.
