Let's talk live! 🗣️ APDA is hosting free, quarterly group discussions centered on speech therapy for Parkinson’s disease (PD) with @lingraphica, starting on October 7.

If you’re in speech therapy now, considering it for the future, or just curious about what's available to you and what it's like, we'd love for you to join us online!

Each session will explore various approaches and exercises that support speech, swallowing, and communication in PD. Come share your experiences, ask questions, practice exercises, and gain practical tips that can help you feel more informed and confident when working with a speech-language pathologist.

Learn more at the link in our bio and email Anushka Shiell, MSW at ashiell@apdaparkinson.org to register!
