Louder, Clearer: A Parkinson's Voice Training Program - Parkinson Society Southwestern Ontario

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

Identify communication priorities in their everyday activities and their most important or difficult speaking scenarios
Practice exercises and techniques to improve vocal loudness and clarity when speaking
