Volunteering + Events

Lead With Intent Symposium-SPEAK OUT! Therapy & Research Centers

Parkinson Voice Project is collaborating with university speech clinics across the United States to make its program accessible to every American. These SPEAK OUT! Therapy & Research Centers eliminate insurance and financial barriers for people with Parkinson’s by not charging for SPEAK OUT! Therapy. They eliminate transportation challenges by offering treatment ONLINE. These university speech clinics are providing hands-on training for their graduate students and conducting efficacy research on speech and swallowing disorders in Parkinson’s. Our goal is to have one SPEAK OUT! Therapy & Research Center in every state.
