Dr. Deborah Theodoros provides an insightful editorial to the recently published speech therapy for Parkinson’s disease clinical trial in BMJ. Read her analysis to gain additional insights into the study outcomes and clinical impact it should have for improving access to effective speech therapy (LSVT LOUD) for people with Parkinson’s.

A major clinical trial, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has shown the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) is more effective than the current speech and language therapy provided by the NHS, when treating patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Something we’ve known for a long time and something I regularly shout about!
I provide LSVT in person or via telehealth and currently have availability up until November. Contact me on fb, Instagram or via my website at www.everyonedeservesavoice.co.uk

I am overwhelmed by this testimonial from Helen and Adam this week. What a privilege it’s been working with this young couple and to be able to make such a difference in Adam’s confidence. We have had so much fun getting to know each other and I’ve loved finding out about all his random hobbies and interests. Speech and Language therapy is not only about improving a persons speech, voice, language or swallowing skills but also about how they feel about the difficulties they are having and how they use these skills to return to communicating with their family, friends and returning to work.

I received some wonderful feedback from Paul and his family today. I‘ve worked with Paul for the last year and its going to be strange not seeing him every week but he has come so far, it's time to stop therapy. He is now attending numerous groups each week using his brilliant voice and making sure everyone hears how funny he is! He is able to join in conversations and socialise with his friends and family and I couldn’t be prouder of all he’s achieved!

I’m loving being back signing after 11 years of not needing to use it every day! I definitely needed a refresher from Regional tutor Kommunikation with Sara as some of the signs have changed in that time and I could have got myself into trouble 😆
