SPEAK OUT! And LOUD Crowd!
NOW OFFERED in REGINA
WHAT is SPEAK OUT! And Loud Crowd?
SPEAK OUT! Is a therapy program that is individualized for people with Parkinson’s disease to improve their awareness of their soft quiet voice and teach exercises to increase vocal loudness. In turn, swallowing muscles are strengthened because the same muscles used for voice are used to speak and swallow. In this program, speech is transformed from an automatic function (no thinking needed) to an intentional deliberate task.
SPEAK OUT! Is usually completed in 12 sessions spanning four weeks , and then the client transitions to the weekly maintenance program LOUD Crowd.
LOUD Crowd is the group therapy portion of the program that meets once weekly. The sessions provide maintenance activities for skills obtained in SPEAK OUT! And a social support group for its members and spouses.
SPEAK OUT! And LOUD Crowd Programs were developed at Parkinson’s Voice Project in Richardson, Texas, USA.
These programs are backed by clinical research that documents the effectiveness of these programs.
