FLSVT- BIG & LOUD Therapy for Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinson's Disease

LSVT BIG & LOUD Programs  are customized to each person's specific needs and goals. Thus, they can  help patients regardless of the stage or severity of your condition.


LSVT LOUD is an effective speech therapy treatment for people diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD) and Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurological conditions.  LSVT LOUD trains people with  LBD and PD to use their voice at a more normal loudness level while speaking at home, work, or in the community. 


LSVT BIG: People living with LBD and PD often have smaller and slower movements, which may result in difficulty dressing, walking and/or getting into and out of a chair. The treatment improves walking, self-care and other tasks by helping patients to “recalibrate” their muscle movements.
