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.
