Please go to the Parkinson Voice Project web site at ParkinsonVoiceProject.org. From there you can find a Speech Pathologist that is trained in SPEAK OUT! Click on Find a SPEAK OUT! under Our Program. Then find your state on the list. If you have a Therapy and Research Center in your state you can receive treatment for NO charge. And you can receive treatment either virtually or in person. If your state does not have the T and R Center then check the middle column and look for Certified Speech Pathologists in your state. 90% pf people with Parkinsons will have speech and swallowing issues. We use the same muscles that we use to talk so this is really very important. It is important to participate in this program. PVP is a non profit organization in Richardson, Texas. This is the only organization in the world where you can get this specialized treatment. The program is proven to be effective. When you are looking at the website )1 look at Testimonials and 2) under Education and Training watch the What is Parkinsons video. It is excellent.
