Parkinson Voice Project

A nonprofit organization

Why Your Support Is Urgently Needed

Speech and swallowing difficulties affect up to 90% of people with Parkinson's. Swallowing problems can lead to aspiration pneumonia, the leading cause of death in Parkinson's. Yet only 3 to 4% receive the vital speech therapy they need. The need to address this gap is urgent.

Infographic on speech and swallowing impact

Parkinson Voice Project is the only nonprofit solely dedicated to treating speech and swallowing in people with Parkinson’s.

Since 2008, our speech and swallowing therapy has been offered in our clinic at no cost. We are helping people with Parkinson's reclaim their confidence and their connections. We are helping them swallow safely without coughing or choking. No patient has ever been denied treatment at our clinic due to insurance or financial restrictions.
