Developed by the Parkinson Voice Project

SPEAK OUT!®

The SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, developed by Parkinson Voice Project®, helps people with Parkinson’s and related neurological disorders regain and retain their speech and swallowing. This highly effective, evidence-based treatment combines education, individual and group speech therapy, daily home practice, and continuous follow-ups. Patients are empowered to “speak with INTENT,” transitioning speech from an automatic function to an intentional act.

All the clinicians of Speech Therapy Solutions Montana are certified providers of the SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program. Through the annual grants we have been successfully awarded by Parkinsons Voice Project since 2019, we have been able to train undergraduate and graduate students who have completed their clinical internships at our setting. As a service to our community and many individuals with Parkinsons, we are proud to offer FREE, weekly SPEAK OUT therapy groups online. Because the group is easily accessible via the telehealth platform, individuals from different communities from Montana and Washington are able to benefit from this weekly program in the comfort of their homes.
