Swallowing is something we rarely think aboutuntil it becomes difficult. In Parkinson’s, dysphagia is common and can lead to serious complications. Recognising the signs and working with a speech pathologist can help preserve safety and dignity.

When people think of Parkinson’s disease, they often think of tremors or movement issues.

But for many, the most life-altering symptoms are the ones we don’t see, slowed thinking, memory lapses, trouble concentrating, or difficulty planning day-to-day tasks.

These cognitive symptoms stem from changes in key brain areas, not just the movement centers. Recognizing them early makes a world of difference.

Ascent Speech Pathology offers comprehensive assessments to address cognitive health.
