Speech and voice disorders are among the most challenging symptoms faced by individuals with Parkinson’s disease, yet they are often misunderstood or overlooked. In this webinar, Raising AHHHwareness, we highlight the importance of vocalization—symbolized by “AH”—as a step toward improving communication. We’ll delve into common speech and voice symptoms experienced by people with Parkinson’s, such as low volume, monotone pitch, and unclear speech.

We’ll explore the underlying causes of these communication difficulties in Parkinson’s disease and introduce LSVT LOUD, an evidence-based voice treatment specifically developed for individuals with Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions. You’ll learn how LSVT LOUD works to improve vocal loudness (bringing “AH” to life) and overall communication, as well as potential benefits including improved facial expression, voice quality, and speech clarity. We’ll also share practical tips and strategies for managing speech and communication challenges in daily life.

Whether you’re a healthcare professional looking to expand your knowledge, a person living with Parkinson’s, or a caregiver seeking to better support your loved one, this webinar will provide valuable insights into managing speech and voice disorders associated with Parkinson’s. Join us to discover how LSVT LOUD is helping individuals with Parkinson’s rediscover their voices—starting with “AH”—and improve their quality of life.

Intended Audience: Health professionals, individuals living with Parkinson’s and their loved ones
