Being apart doesn't mean we can't come together!
During these extraordinary times of COVID-19 we know that many people with Parkinson’s disease and other conditions may be isolated and unable to receive ongoing services. Please see below for NEW exercise classes that will be extended, FREE of charge, for people with PD during through the month of May.
Free online introductory exercises classes:
Join us for a fun and informative 30-minute session on LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG! Learn about these highly effective treatments for improving communication and mobility in people with Parkinson’s disease. We will present a 15-minute overview of LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG and then engage in 15 minutes of interactive vocal or movement exercises. We will be available after the demonstration to answer questions.
This is a great way for those new to LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG to learn more!

Free online teleLOUD for LIFE™ and teleBIG for LIFE™ classes for LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG graduates:
teleLOUD for LIFE and teleBIG for LIFE are internet based, group exercise classes for those who have already completed all 16 sessions of the full LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG treatment programs. The classes are led by speech-language pathologists or physical or occupational therapists who are LSVT LOUD/LSVT BIG Certified and trained to lead LOUD for LIFE or BIG for LIFE classes.
These classes can serve as a great alternative for LSVT graduates who may not be able to attend maintenance classes due to current stay-at-home guidelines.
NOTE: teleLOUD for LIFE and teleBIG for LIFE are exercise classes, not therapy. These classes in no way replace the need for assessment and therapy delivered by a qualified speech, physical or occupational therapist.
