Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)

Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) is a specialized therapy designed to improve the loudness, clarity, and overall quality of speech in individuals with Parkinson’s disease and similar conditions. It uses intensive, repetitive exercises to retrain the brain to better control vocal muscles, making speech more audible and understandable. The program emphasizes speaking loudly and confidently, which can also help with swallowing and overall communication. LSVT is evidence-based and typically involves four weeks of daily sessions, empowering patients to regain more effective voice function and improve their quality of life.
