Parkinson Voice Therapy

Since being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, my husband’s voice has lost all expression.  It’s so difficult to hear what he is saying. It sounds like he’s depressed. Could it be something else?

People who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s are usually over 60 and living independently.  But, without effective therapy, quality of life will deteriorate; the voice becomes very low and flat, speech is hard for others to understand and swallowing difficulties may arise. 

Our speech-language pathologists have been certified in a voice therapy called SPEAK OUT! that uses INTENT to reinvigorate the voice.  This program was developed by the Parkinson Voice Project in Richardson, Texas and our clients LOVE IT! Our clients have found that once-a-week therapy for voice maintenance helps keep speech and voice strong to enhance quality of life. We even provide therapy via computer in the comfort of your own home!   

Most insurance is accepted for weekly voice maintenance, including Medicare.
