SPEAK OUT!® Program
Clínica de Servicios Interdisciplinarios de la Universidad Ana G. Méndez, Recinto de Gurabo (CSIUAGM)
The Clínica de Servicios Interdisciplinarios de la Universidad Ana G. Méndez, Recinto de Gurabo (CSIUAGM) is pleased to offer a two-part speech therapy program to help individuals with Parkinson’s regain and maintain effective communication: SPEAK OUT!® Individual Speech Therapy followed by SPEAK OUT! ® Speech Group.
SPEAK OUT!® places emphasis on speaking with intent and converting speech from an automatic function to an intentional act. Together, patients and their speech-language pathologist work through a series of speech, voice, and cognitive exercises outlined in a SPEAK OUT!® Workbook.
After completing individual speech therapy, patients transition to weekly groups for ongoing speech and voice exercises, education, and support.
Participation in SPEAK OUT® Program, along with daily home practice, has been shown to help patients maintain their communication skills throughout the progression of Parkinson’s.
The SPEAK OUT!® program is a free service offered at CSIUAGM.
