My husband has mobility issues

No, he hasn't, but I wish he would. He speaks very softly and I frequently ask him to repeat himself, which is frustrating for both of us.

Thanks for the reminder!

Here is link to a YouTube video that you might use at home to help your husband,

LSVT combines two different therapies. "Big" is to increase the size of the physical movements and "Loud" is the speech part of the program that helps PD patients to speak louder. Parkinson's generally affects both movements as well as voice.

You might consider asking your husband's neurologist for a referral to a physical therapist who can work with your husband.

Hi Cindy
For my speaking, I've been doing a therapy "speakOut". It's around 30 minutes every day. You can find them by YouTube every day. It's been doing a huge difference. And try to find a certified speech therapist. I hope this helps both. Take care.
