The holiday season is a wonderful time to show care for loved ones, especially those living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and the therapists that support them. Here are the top gifts for people living with PD, the students and professionals who treat them, and some fun gifts for all from LSVT Global.
Top Gifts for Speech, Physical, and Occupational Therapists and Students
LSVT LOUD® or LSVT BIG® Training and Certification Course
For the therapists or graduate students in your life, gifting an LSVT training course can be transformative. Upon certification in either LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG, they will gain essential skills to help individuals with Parkinson’s and other conditions throughout their careers. These online courses can be completed in as little as two days, making it a practical gift that has lasting impact.
LOUD for LIFE® or BIG for LIFE® Training Course
If the therapist in your life is already LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG Certified, gift them a LOUD for LIFE or BIG for LIFE training course so they can learn how to start their own community class for people with PD. This short course teaches everything you need to know about leading a group class for people who have previously completed their LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG 1:1 treatment.
LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG Renewal Course
Another option for the therapist that is already LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG Certified, gift the LSVT LOUD Renewal Course or the LSVT BIG Renewal Course to help them to keep their certification active. This is an inexpensive, full online, self-paced course that therapists need to complete every 2 years. If they are coming up on a renewal date, make this season a bit easier with the gift of a re-certification course.
