🚨 Great news for SLPs working with Parkinson’s patients

The SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program Certification Course from Parkinson Voice Project is now completely FREE for speech-language pathologists.

Previously, this certification cost approximately $475, which made it difficult for some clinicians to access the training. Parkinson Voice Project has moved to a “Pay It Forward” model, allowing SLPs to complete the full 13-hour certification course at no charge, with the option to donate afterward to support training for future clinicians.

SPEAK OUT!® is an evidence-based program designed to help individuals with Parkinson’s regain and retain speech and swallowing function by training patients to speak with intent.

If you work with adults with Parkinson’s, this is an excellent opportunity to gain specialized training without the financial barrier.

Hi, it’s Liz, just checking in.

I’m thrilled to report the 2023 Louisiana Speech Language and Hearing Association (LSHA) Convention in Baton Rouge, LA was a success!!

I spent the weekend geeking out over dysphagia research (duh), the science behind thickened liquids, chronic coughing, end of life care, awake craniotomy (!!!), and even found myself attending presentations that weren’t in my realm of work, such as the link between gut bacteria and autism presented by Dr. Luna, which was simply amazing.

I caught up with old friends, made some new friends, and connected with researchers and university professors from all over the state.

I also renewed my position on the Board of Directors as Treasurer for 2024 and will be working tirelessly to plan next’s year’s convention with our wonderful board members, so I hope to see you there.

Have a great summer! ☀️
