Speech and swallowing challenges are common in Parkinson’s, but they can be managed. Participants will learn about voice changes and swallowing difficulties, along with strategies to improve communication and address swallowing challenges. We’ll also discuss the effect of speech and swallowing therapy on quality of life.
