HOLIDAY CHALLENGE

Parkinson Voice Project is a nonprofit speech therapy clinic located in Richardson, Texas.  We treat people with Parkinson's throughout Texas in our clinic and online.  Our clinic does not charge for its speech therapy services.  We are funded through donations.  We also train speech-language pathologists at hospitals and universities across the U.S. and abroad.  Our vision is to make quality speech treatment accessible to people with Parkinson's worldwide.

The Need:  One in one hundred adults over the age of 60 will be diagnosed with Parkinson’s.  Of these individuals, 90% are likely to develop speech difficulties.   Left untreated, speech disorders can lead to life-threatening swallowing complications.  

Our Campaign To Reach America:  We are establishing SPEAK OUT! Therapy & Research Centers in universities across the United States. We want every American living with Parkinson's to have access to our speech therapy program. We have 26 Centers so far. To learn more about this campaign, visit: ParkinsonVoiceProject.org/donate/campaign-to-reach-america/
