Advanced Therapy Solutions is proud to offer the SPEAK OUT!® program, an evidence-based speech therapy program specifically designed for individuals with Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s can cause speech to become softer, less clear, and more monotone over time. Many individuals are unaware of these changes, which can impact communication confidence and daily interactions. The SPEAK OUT!® program focuses on strengthening the speech system by training individuals to “speak with intent,” helping improve vocal volume, clarity, and overall communication effectiveness.

The SPEAK OUT!® Program Includes:

• Structured, research-based speech exercises

• Focus on intentional speech production

• Increased vocal loudness and clarity

• Improved breath support and vocal strength

• Carryover strategies for everyday conversation

The program consists of individual therapy sessions followed by the opportunity to transition into The LOUD Crowd®, a supportive group setting designed to maintain gains and encourage continued practice.

Early intervention is encouraged, as speech changes in Parkinson’s are progressive. Beginning therapy sooner can help preserve communication skills and confidence.

If you or a loved one has Parkinson’s and are noticing changes in voice or speech clarity, contact us to learn more about how the SPEAK OUT!® program can help.

Addressing voice, speech, cognitive, or language changes early can:

• Improve recovery outcomes

• Support continued independence

• Enhance social and emotional well-being

When appropriate, adult speech therapy services can be coordinated with occupational therapy to provide comprehensive, patient-centered care.
