Speech Therapy

Parkinson’s disease (PD) can affect speech in several ways. Those with PD may speak quietly and in one tone without conveying emotion. They might slur words, mumble, or trail off. Speech problems can make it difficult to communicate with family, friends, co-workers and physicians and can limit social interactions. Parkinson’s medication adjustments sometimes help with speech problems, but speech therapy and sustained practice is typically the best treatment. Vocal exercises can also help with swallowing that can sometimes pose difficulty in the later stages of PD.  

The Michigan Parkinson Foundation partners with several programs to help bring you the best option to help you learn the best techniques and practice your speech. Check out these in-person and virtual (statewide) programs below!
