The UNO Speech-Language Clinic is pleased to offer a two-part speech therapy program to help individuals with Parkinson’s regain and maintain effective communication: SPEAK OUT!® followed by The LOUD Crowd®.
What is SPEAK OUT!®?
SPEAK OUT!® is a highly effective speech therapy program. It consists of 12 individual speech therapy sessions. Together, the patient and the speech-language pathologist work on a series of speech, voice, and cognitive exercises outlined in a comprehensive workbook provided to every patient as a gift from Parkinson Voice Project. Each therapy session lasts about 45 minutes.
Upon completion of SPEAK OUT!®, patients transition to The LOUD Crowd®. A weekly maintenance program that consists of a speech therapy group to help patients maintain the strength of their voices. The LOUD Crowd® provides ongoing vocal practice, accountability, support, and encouragement to help patients maintain their communication skills throughout the progression of Parkinson’s.
What costs are associated with these services?
No cost! UNO Speech-Language Clinic does not charge for speech and language services.
