I have heard of them. Presently I'm trying to approval via my insurance carrier (grr) to get treatment from a center that deals only with movement disorders under the Parkinson's umbrella, including PSP. I just had a neuro-psyche from that facility last week and she listed the numerous programs/therapies, including a psychogeretrician. Makes much sense to me. Hope it works out for your husband which will only lighten your load.

Best to you always, Dorothy.
