LSVT LOUD® is an effective speech treatment for individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) and other neurological conditions.  Recently principles of LSVT LOUD® were applied to limb movement in people with Parkinson disease (LSVT BIG®) and have been documented to be effective in the short term.  Both of these programs are available here in Quincy.  Click here to find a clinician.
