  • Finding Parkinson’s Support: Programs, Groups, and Resources for People Living with Parkinson’s and Their Loved Ones

    Navigating Parkinson’s can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. In recognition of Parkinson’s Awareness Month, this free webinar explores the many ways to connect with programs, groups, and resources designed to support people living with Parkinson’s and those who care about them. Learn how to identify different types of Parkinson’s community groups and programs - from exercise classes to peer meetups, educational sessions, and online platforms. Discover how to choose options that best fit your stage of Parkinson’s, personal interests, and individual needs. We’ll also introduce LSVT Global resources, including the LSVT for LIFE platform, which offers virtual group exercise classes (LOUD for LIFE and BIG for LIFE), on-demand videos, and tools to help you find local and online groups that align with the principles of LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG therapies. You’ll leave with greater confidence in finding local, national, and virtual resources - and with one meaningful next step toward building your support network. Intended Audience: Health professionals, individuals living with Parkinson’s and their loved ones

  • Beyond Parkinson’s: How LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD Can Help Stroke, MS, Ataxia, and Other Neurological Conditions

    Learn how LSVT BIG (movement) and LSVT LOUD (voice) may benefit people living with stroke, multiple sclerosis, ataxia, and other neurological conditions. This webinar will explain the core principles of these evidence‑based programs, share what the research suggests, and describe what participation in LSVT BIG or LOUD typically looks like for adults with different diagnoses. We’ll also touch on who may be a good candidate, what to expect during treatment, and how therapists adapt these programs to support everyday movement and communication. Intended Audience: Healthcare professionals, individuals living with neurological conditions and their loved ones

  • From Parkinson’s to Pediatrics: Why a think BIG approach makes sense!

    While LSVT BIG® was originally developed for individuals with Parkinson’s disease, its core principles may extend to other neurological populations, including children. This webinar explores how LSVT BIG principles - amplitude, effort, repetition, and task-specific practice - can support motor learning and function beyond Parkinson’s disease. Occupational therapist Erica Vitek highlights applications in stroke and Multiple sclerosis and places particular emphasis on pediatrics, using case examples to demonstrate individualized, meaningful treatment and clinical decision-making. Intended Audience: For physical and occupational therapy professionals and students – with or without LSVT BIG certification

  • Using LSVT BIG® and LSVT LOUD® to Create Interprofessional Education in Neurologic Rehabilitation for PT, OT and SLP Programs

    This one-hour webinar will explore how LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD can serve as practical platforms for interprofessional education (IPE) among physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology students. Interprofessional education occurs when two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to improve collaboration and outcomes, making it a strong fit for team-based learning around people with neurological diagnoses who often benefit from coordinated PT, OT, and SLP care. Using Parkinson’s disease and related neurologic presentations as an example, the session will show faculty how shared case-based learning, observation, simulation, lab activities, and coordinated treatment planning built around LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD can enrich student understanding of collaborative care while also supporting program efforts to demonstrate interprofessional preparation expected within accreditation frameworks and professional standards. Intended Audience: Anyone involved in SLP, PT, or OT education: students, faculty members, clinical educators, and program administrators
