In Parkinson’s disease, dopamine loss in the basal ganglia affects the automatic systems that usually keep speech clear and strong.

SPEAK OUT!® therapy introduces the principle of intent — teaching people to speak with purposeful effort. This bypasses impaired automatic pathways and engages stronger cortical networks. The result? Louder, clearer, and more confident communication.

🗣️ Intent isn’t about shouting — it’s about speaking like you mean it.

May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month! 🗣️🦻🏼👄

It is important to remember that not everyone is able to communicate verbally - there are many other forms of communication, including the use of an AAC device (augmentative and alternative communication).

Feel free to share a quick story about when you helped someone find their voice 😊

Communication connects us all!

You may not know that April is Parkinson's Awareness month 🤔 You also may not know that nearly 90,000 people are diagnosed with Parkinson's each year in the U.S alone.

In our community, our primary caseload is individuals with PD. As speech-language pathologists, we help individuals who experience changes with their voice, cognition, communication, and swallowing.

We are so grateful to continue to provide individualized-approaches to therapy to maximize each client's quality of life and independence.

Have you ever heard of an Expiratory Muscle Strength Trainer? 🤔💭

In our field, we often utilize the EMST with our clients who have Parkinson's disease. Most often, we hear that our clients have difficulty projecting their voice, difficulty coordinating their breath support when speaking, and a change in vocal quality.

The EMST is an effective tool to utilize in therapy and to teach our clients the importance of daily practice (aka consistency 😉) to maximize their expiratory muscles - ultimately leading to a stronger voice.
