Louder, Clearer

You probably notice that people ask you to repeat yourself more than they used to. In addition, speaking clearly and intelligibly become a little more difficult. Parkinson’s disease can affect the volume, tone, rhythm and/or rate of speech. Many people will speak softer and convey less emotion. Words can be slurred or mumbled.

Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario offers group sessions led by speech-language pathologists providing an opportunity to learn and practice skills for louder, clearer speech in a relaxed and social atmosphere.

Cost is covered by Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario.

*Eligibility is limited to residents of southwestern Ontario.

Louder, Clearer is a seasonal support program offered in the fall, winter, and spring. Program schedules and availability are subject to change.

  • Practice exercises and techniques to improve vocal loudness and clarity when speaking
