As the New York State SPEAK OUT!® Therapy & Research Center, the University at Buffalo Audiology & Speech-Language Pathology Clinic offers the SPEAK OUT!® speech and voice therapy program at no cost to help people with Parkinson’s disease regain and retain effective communication.
SPEAK OUT!® emphasizes speaking with intent to convert speech from an automatic function to an intentional act. Participation in SPEAK OUT!®, along with daily home practice and regular re-evaluations, have been shown to help patients regain and retain their communication skills throughout the progression of Parkinson’s.
Our current research is comparing outcomes between in-person therapy and teletherapy.
