We are now offering SPEAK OUT! ® group classes as part of our Parkinson’s Therapy program.
SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program was created by Parkinson Voice Project. This evidence-based program aids individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s in reclaiming and preserving their speech and swallowing abilities.
Group Classes are for people with Parkinson’s or other neurological disorders and focus on exercises and techniques to help regain and retain speech and swallowing in a supportive group environment. They complement and follow individual speech therapy and home practice.
Groups start Wednesday 3rd July 2024 at 10am
Classes take place at Royal Rehab LifeWorks Penrith, Suite 10A, Level 2, 291 – 295 High Street, Penrith.
Classes run every Wednesday at 10am for 8 weeks. Individual therapy is available at any time.
What’s involved?
60-minute initial assessment session with a SPEAK OUT! licensed Speech Pathologist
Ongoing individual sessions are 30 minutes twice a week for approximately 4 weeks
Transition into SPEAK OUT! group classes occurs from week 3 of the individual program with weekly groups of 6-8 people under the direction of a licensed SPEAK OUT! practitioner
