The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT)

The Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) is a specialized speech therapy designed to improve voice and speech function, particularly for individuals with Parkinson's disease. It focuses on helping patients increase the loudness of their voice and enhance their speech clarity through intensive, high-effort practice. The therapy typically involves frequent sessions, where patients are encouraged to use stronger vocal techniques in everyday communication. The ultimate goal is to empower individuals to speak more effectively, improve their quality of life, and enhance their ability to engage socially.
