Let's Talk LOUD for YOPD |
IMPACT Parkinson's Society has moved the very successful and beneficial Let's Talk LOUD program on-line. We wish to create a class for Young Onset Parkinson's Disease (YOPD) folks, many of whom are still working, so would host this class in the evening/weekend to make it accessible. Included below is a brief description of Let's Talk LOUD plus a few questions that will help us determine if there is interest and to pick days/times that would work for most people.
What is Let's Talk LOUD for YOPD?
Let’s Talk LOUD is virtual monthly group voice therapy sessions led by a Speech Language Pathologist. During the sessions you will learn about communication and swallowing concerns common in Parkinson’s disease and participate in voice training, including breath and posture work, to help strengthen voice and communication. These sessions are for those already experiencing communication and swallowing challenges as well as those who wish to be proactive in their treatment. This is especially important for YOPD. Classes are held on a monthly sign up basis. There is a modest fee for the monthly sessions. Those having Extended Health Benefits may have coverage for speech therapy and are encouraged to find out.
