What is SPEAK OUT!® & LOUD Crowd!®?

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.
