"By the time I completed my SPEAK OUT!® training I was having brief periods during the day where my raspy voice was gone and my voice sounded like it used to sound to my ears. As I continue to do my daily therapy at home my raspy voice continues to subside." "I just wanted to let you know that SPEAK OUT with it's excellent training manual taught well by Amanda from the Innovative Therapy Center has me well on the way to restoring my voice."
SPEAK OUT!® for Parkinson's Voice
​
Innovative Therapy Center is excited to offer a two-part speech therapy program to help individuals with Parkinson's regain and maintain effective communication with a focus on INTENT through the SPEAK OUT!® program.
​
SPEAK OUT!® places emphasis on speaking with intent and converting speech from an automatic function to an intentional act. Together, patients and their speech-language pathologist work through a series of speech, voice, and cognitive exercises outlined in a SPEAK OUT!® Workbook.
Upon completion of SPEAK OUT!®, patients transition to SPEAK OUT!® groups. This maintenance program consists of weekly group sessions led by a speech-language pathologist. The SPEAK OUT!® exercises are performed, and group members provide support, encouragement, and accountability to one another.
Participation in SPEAK OUT!® groups, along with daily home practice and six-month re-evaluations, has been shown to help patients maintain their communication skills throughout the progression of Parkinson’s. For more information about SPEAK OUT!® or to schedule a speech evaluation, please contact us.
