Our academic and clinical faculty members are experts in the field and they bring this knowledge to the assessment and treatment of communication disorders within the clinic.
This clinic is a training site for future speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Services are generally provided by graduate students and supervised by clinical faculty members. All supervisors hold a master's or doctoral degree in speech-language pathology, the Certificate of Clinical Competence of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, and are licensed by the Nevada Board of Speech Pathology and Audiology.

Who: This program is recommended for individuals diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Parkinson-plus syndromes. It was developed by the Parkinson Voice Project in Richardson, Texas. Since Parkinson’s is a progressive, degenerative condition, maintaining the strength of one’s voice can be a challenge. People with Parkinson's often struggle with motivation as a result of the lack of dopamine in the brain.
This treatment is offered to civilians and veterans who will come together in the group piece of this treatment approach
What: SPEAK OUT!® is a highly effective speech therapy program, and the first step in a two-part therapy approach. SPEAK OUT!® typically consists of twelve individual speech therapy sessions conducted by a speech-language pathologist. Together, the patient and the speech-language pathologist work their way through a series of speech, voice, and cognitive exercises outlined in a comprehensive workbook provided to every patient in the U.S. as a gift from Parkinson Voice Project. Each therapy session lasts 40-45 minutes.
The primary goals of SPEAK OUT!® are to strengthen the muscles used for speaking and to teach patients how to speak with intent. Once patients complete SPEAK OUT!®, they transition to the second part of the program called The LOUD Crowd®. In 1999, Parkinson Voice Project’s founder developed The LOUD Crowd®. This maintenance program consists of a speech therapy group to help patients maintain the strength of their voices. The LOUD Crowd® provides ongoing vocal practice, accountability, support, and encouragement. By participating in LOUD Crowd®, patients have been shown to maintain their SPEAK OUT!® results for more than five years and counting.
The SPEAK OUT! & LOUD Crowd therapy regimens were developed at Parkinson Voice Project in Richardson, TX. You can visit their website HERE.
