Changes in speech can make it harder to stay connected with family and friends, participate socially, and communicate needs with confidence.

The good news is that support can make a difference. Speech-Language Pathologists can help people with Parkinson’s strengthen communication and develop strategies tailored to their individual needs. Seeking support early can help people maintain their communication skills and quality of life.

If you’ve noticed changes in your voice or speech, consider talking with your healthcare provider about a referral to a Speech-Language Pathologist.
