  • The UWRF Speech-Language and Hearing Clinic is proud to offer SPEAK OUT!® and LOUD Crowd® therapy. The SPEAK OUT!® program is a therapy regimen focused on helping individuals with Parkinson’s disease improve their voicing, and their overall speaking abilities. This program typically consists of 12 individual sessions completed over 4-weeks and is then followed by the LOUD Crowd®. The LOUD Crowd® is a weekly group therapy program providing social engagement opportunities, as well as, maintenance for skills obtained during SPEAK OUT!®.
