Questions & answers
Does speech therapy help Parkinson's?
Yes. Research consistently shows that speech therapy — particularly the SPEAK OUT!® program — can significantly improve voice volume, speech clarity and communication confidence for people with Parkinson’s disease. Early intervention produces the best outcomes.
When should I start?
The sooner the better. Voice and speech changes can begin early in Parkinson’s, often before you notice them. Starting therapy early helps preserve voice strength and prevents decline. We recommend an assessment as soon as changes are identified.
Can therapy be online?
Yes. All Parkinson’s voice therapy is available via Telehealth, meaning you can access specialist SPEAK OUT!® therapy from anywhere in Australia without needing to travel.
Do you work outside Canberra?
Absolutely. While AccentU is based in Crace, Canberra, our Telehealth service means we work with clients across all of Australia. Location is never a barrier to quality voice therapy.
