LSVT LOUD®

LSVT LOUD® is a research-backed therapy that helps people with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions regain a stronger, more natural-sounding voice. The program focuses on “recalibrating” how you perceive your own voice, helping you speak comfortably at a normal loudness.

Delivered four times per week over four weeks, LSVT LOUD® combines 1:1 therapy sessions with daily home exercises. Sessions are approximately 50 minutes and are offered in-person at your home or via live teleconferencing.

SPEAK OUT!®

  • Education for patients and families

  • Daily home practice with workbooks, flashcards, and online exercises

  • Weekly group sessions for reinforcement and support

  • Regular progress evaluations

Who is a good candidate for LSVT LOUD or the SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program? 

Beginning speech therapy before you've noticed significant problems with voice, speech and communication will often lead to the best results, but it's never too late to start.

The Most Common Speech Issues associated with Parkinson’s Disease:

  • Soft voice

  • Hoarseness

  • Monotone

  • Mumbled speech

Ask yourself:

  • Do people ask you to repeat? 

  • Does your voice sound hoarse, scratchy or breathy?

  • Do you clear your throat often? 

  • Is your voice strong on some days, weak on others?

  • Do you cough when you eat or drink?

If the answer is “yes” to one or more of these questions, don’t wait any longer to seek help.
