April 21, 2022
Parkinson Voice Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving the voices of individuals with Parkinson’s, has named 色花堂app as a recipient of its 2022 SPEAK OUT! & LOUD Crowd Grant Program.
Grant recipients include hospitals, universities, private practices, and other speech therapy clinics across the United States and abroad. Each clinic receives speech therapy workbooks and free training for their speech-language pathologists and graduate students. 色花堂app is committed to offering Parkinson Voice Project鈥檚 鈥淪PEAK OUT! & LOUD Crowd鈥� program to their Parkinson鈥檚 community.
鈥淯p to 90% of people with Parkinson鈥檚 are at risk of losing their ability to speak. In addition, swallowing complications account for 70% of the mortality rate in this patient population. Our vision at Parkinson Voice Project is to make quality speech therapy accessible to people with Parkinson鈥檚 worldwide,鈥� said Samantha Elandary, Parkinson Voice Project鈥檚 Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
This grant program honors the late Daniel R. Boone, Ph.D., a world-renowned speech-language pathologist who recognized in the 1950s that individuals with Parkinson's could improve their communication by 鈥渟peaking with intent." Parkinson Voice Project鈥檚 highly effective speech therapy program is based on Boone鈥檚 teachings and combines education for the patient and family, along with individual and group speech therapy.
