SPEAK OUT!® and SPEAK OUT!® GROUP
The Stanley Center for Speech and Language Disorders is providing a two-part therapy program to help those with Parkinson's disease regain and maintain their speaking abilities. This speech therapy program was developed by Parkinson Voice Project in Richardson, Texas, and is being provided in our clinic at no charge to our Parkinson's community.
SPEAK OUT!® – This program typically consists of 8 to 12 individual speech therapy sessions and daily home practice, emphasizing speaking with intent and converting speech from an automatic function to an intentional act. Upon graduation from SPEAK OUT!®, patients transition to the SPEAK OUT!® GROUP.
SPEAK OUT!® GROUP – The SPEAK OUT!® GROUP is a maintenance program for Parkinson’s patients to continue practicing the exercises learned in the SPEAK OUT!® program and to provide support and encouragement for each other.
SPEAK OUT!® and SPEAK OUT!® GROUP sessions are offered face-to-face or via teletherapy.
For more information on SPEAK OUT!® or SPEAK OUT!® GROUP please visit the Parkinson Voice Project.
