SPEAK OUT!® Program

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.
