The SPEAK OUT!® program, created by the Parkinson Voice Project, has extensive research to show it is one of the most effective interventions for helping people with Parkinson’s disease and related conditions improve their speech and swallowing.
For many people with Parkinson’s, communication becomes more challenging over time. The condition can affect speech, thinking, language, and even facial expressions. In fact, research shows that up to 90 percent of people with Parkinson’s will notice changes in how they speak, often due to changes in muscle control and coordination.
This might show up as a quieter voice, unclear or slurred words, a lack of variation in tone, or unusual speech patterns. These changes can make it harder to be understood and can impact confidence and relationships. However, with the right support, both the person with Parkinson’s and those they speak with can learn practical ways to communicate more effectively.
We’re always encouraged to learn and grow. There’s a strong focus on continuous improvement, which means we’re constantly finding new ways to support our clients.
