Parkinson's Disease

Reclaim Your Voice With Speech Pathology Treatment For Parkinson's Disease

Can you say that again?

❌ people don't hear me

❌ words are on the tip of my tongue

❌ I run out of air

❌ I don't sound like myself

❌ I am left out of conversations

❌ I feel so isolated

❌ no one understands what it is like to feel this way

Control Your Speech and Control Your World

WHAT YOU MAY EXPERIENCE

👉🏻 you may be asked to repeat what you say

👉🏻 words may come out in short rushes

👉🏻 hard to get enough air to support speech

WHAT OTHERS HEAR

➡️ Soft speech

➡️ Monotone speech

➡️ Slurred or mumbled words

Conversations can become challenging. You may be left on the sidelines of conversations because others don't want to keep asking you to repeat.

Meet Mark
Reconnecting at University

Three years before he consulted with LIFE Speech Pathology, Mark began experiencing the early signs of Parkinson's Disease.

A former economics university professor where he had imparted his lectures and built strong relationships with his students, he increasingly could not communicate with the same vocal clarity and volume. This caused him to withdraw from social activities.

Nonetheless, with the LSVT LOUD® program at LIFE Speech Pathology, he saw a remarkable improvement in his speaking ability within a few weeks.

His voice was louder and more distinct, no longer requiring him to repeat himself. Consequently, his assurance returned as he was able to attend guest lectures and reconnect with his students

Meet Clara
Thriving at Book Club

Clara, a book club organizer and grandmother of five, was known for her vivacious storytelling. However, her voice weakened and lost clarity due to Parkinson’s, causing her to shy away from reading out loud to her grandchildren.

She embarked on a treatment journey with LIFE Speech Pathology and the Speak Out!® program, which proved incredibly transformative.

With a focus on 'speaking with intent,' Clara regained the strength and expressiveness of her voice, making her stories even more animated. She happily returned to her role as the beloved storyteller in her family.

Clara's journey demonstrated that LIFE was dedicated to seeing her regain her voice and ensuring that all aspects of her life were vibrant and fulfilled.

There is HOPE + Path Forward

At LIFE Speech Pathology, we believe in looking beyond the immediate symptoms. It's not just about restoring a voice but ensuring every individual and family navigates their journey with knowledge, strength, and abundant support.

Let's map out your path forward to improved communication.
