World-class Speech Therapy - Offered weekdays - No Charge

I'm writing to extoll the " greatness " I've enjoyed since I was introduced to parkinsonvoiceproject.org - January. 2020.

Background: I was " formally diagnosed " having PD on Halloween / October 31, 2019, though I've had symptoms for a few years prior to being diagnosed. My symptoms: Gait & posture, stiffness / rigidity, slow movements - no tremor. My voice has been affected - very weak, can't sing any more...really bums me - I've been told I have / had a pretty voice....

My neurologist introduced me to Parkinson Voice Project because he and his team have / had patients who enjoyed good results - quickly.

Statistics:

9 of 10 PWP will develop speech / swallowing issues

7 of 10 PWP will die because of choking.

Because of Covid-19 PVP had to change their approach - going to a clinic could prove dangerous fo some of us....age, etc.

So the founder of PVP, Samantha Elandary goes on Facebook weekdays @10:00 am central time ( US ) and for 30 minutes or so take us through very specific exercises to improve our / my speech and swallowing.

Results: stronger voice - intentional voice used. Better swallowing. Also, I am much more intentional walking - living.

Come to one session and decide for yourself. Bring a glass of water, an open mind and like me you'll be impressed with your results.

Log on: parkinsonvoiceproject.org , look for and click the banner to Facebook Live and you'll be taken to the session. Monday - Friday 10:00 am central time US.

By the way, I do not receive any compensation. I get more than I could ever imagine.

PVP offers formal programs ( I started with one before Covid ). They do not charge for these programs. PVP is a 501c-3 organization - they function strictly though donations. You decide how much and if you pay.....I believe if you give the daily Facebook sessions a try, you will be better able to decide if you should consider learning more about what program / approach is best for you. PVP has a network of partners, certified in PVP's Speak Out Protocol, who may be in your area.....All this is explained in detail on their website....or you could call the clinic. You won't be disappointed.

If I can offer any help, answer questions, provide information - please don't hesitate to ask.

Happy New Year!
