When it comes to voice therapy for individuals with Parkinson's disease, two prominent programs stand out: SPEAK OUT! and LSVT LOUD. After careful consideration and experience, I chose SPEAK OUT! for its holistic approach and its ability to empower clients with long-term, sustainable results. Unlike LSVT LOUD, which focuses heavily on volume, SPEAK OUT! incorporates speech, voice, and cognitive exercises to not only improve vocal strength but also enhance overall communication function. This approach aligns with my belief in personalized therapy that addresses the whole person, not just the diagnosis. In this post, I’ll share why I believe SPEAK OUT! is the better fit for my clients and how it brings meaningful progress in speech therapy.
