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

Discover how the brain and body can change and improve at any age or stage of neurological disease. We’ll explore the science of neuroplasticity-the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize-and how it forms the foundation of two powerful, research-backed therapies: LSVT LOUD (for speech and voice) and LSVT BIG (for movement). We will explore how intensive, focused practice in LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG helps people “retrain” their brains and bodies to move, speak, and live more fully. You’ll learn: What neuroplasticity is, and why it gives hope for improvement at any stage of Parkinson’s or other neurological conditions How LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG use principles like intensity, repetition, and meaningful practice to drive real change The benefits of these programs for speech, movement, and daily life Tips for maximizing the impact of therapy at home and in the community Inspiring stories and practical advice for people with neurological disorders and those who support them Whether you are a healthcare professional, a person living with a neurological disorder, or a caregiver, this webinar will empower you with knowledge and strategies to make the most of neuroplasticity for better communication, movement, and quality of life.
