I will never forget the first time that I felt “Wow – I can really change someone’s life with speech treatment” was during my Clinical Fellow year when I was hired to deliver LSVT LOUD as part of Dr. Lorraine Ramig’s research team. It BLEW ME AWAY and I knew this was the type of treatment effect that I wanted to spend my life delivering.

Fast forward 30 years and I am still at it. Dr. Ramig and I had no idea back then how profoundly LSVT would globally impact the field of speech, physical and occupational therapy for Parkinson’s and other neurological conditions.
Over the years, I’ve witnessed countless clinicians, much like yourself, transform their practices and achieve remarkable outcomes with their clients. This journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I still get goosebumps when I hear stories from clinicians and clients about the impact of LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG training on their lives. I want you to be part of it.
I am always so surprised when I meet people who say, “I have always wanted to take that training” or after taking the course, “My only regret is not taking the training 10 years ago.”
So, it is 2025. My question for all those who have LSVT Training on their bucket list of courses, “What are you waiting for?” Just Register! You will not regret it.
Let’s break down some of the key benefits – and then I’ll show you how easy it is to get started!
Beyond LSVT: Revolutionizing Your Clinical Approach
I can’t stress enough how LSVT training goes far beyond just delivering LSVT treatments. The principles we teach – amplitude training, intensive practice, and sensory recalibration – have applications across a wide spectrum of adults and children with neurological disorders. Time and again, I’ve seen clinicians leave our training with a renewed sense of confidence and a toolbox of skills that elevate their entire clinical practice.

For instance, one of our certified clinicians and her students utilized LSVT LOUD for a client with laryngeal dystonia. Even though the protocol wasn’t specifically designed for this condition, and could been considered contraindicated at first blush, the outcomes were life altering for the client. It’s this kind of versatility and problem-solving that LSVT training instills. Mindy and her students went on to publish this case study and the client created an incredible video documenting her vocal transformation. It is a MUST view!
Overcoming Perceived Barriers
I understand that committing to a new training program can seem daunting. You might be worried about the time investment or the cost. But let me assure you, these perceived barriers often dissolve when you see the impact of the therapy first hand.
I remember a physical therapist who had great success with his first LSVT BIG client. He and his colleague helped their client successfully go to and enjoy Hawaii for his 52nd anniversary trip.
And the more recent pediatric applications of LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG are particularly special to me as they were derived from my PhD work…MANY years ago. Beyond the pediatric research, it is exciting to see the stories clinicians and parents have shared of success using LSVT LOUD and LSVT BIG for children with Down syndrome and other types of communication and movement challenges.
An Investment That Pays Off
As someone who has dedicated her career to LSVT, I can confidently say that LSVT certification is an investment that pays dividends quickly. Not only will you enhance your clinical skills, but you’ll also open doors to new opportunities. Many of our certified clinicians report increased referrals, better patient outcomes, and a deeper sense of job satisfaction.
Moreover, the skills you gain through LSVT certification are increasingly recognized and valued in the healthcare community. As we continue to expand our research and applications, your LSVT certification will only grow in value.
