Today we’re continuing with our Parkinson's series and we’re focusing on the critical role of speech-language pathology in the management of Parkinson’s disease. 

Joining us is Eileen Carden, a licensed speech-language pathologist with extensive experience working with individuals living with Parkinson’s. In this episode, Eileen breaks down the impact Parkinson’s can have on speech, voice, and swallowing—and how evidence-based interventions like LSVT LOUD and SPEAK OUT!®can improve function and quality of life. 

We’ll explore clinical assessment strategies, therapy goals, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the importance of early intervention. Whether you're a clinician, student, or simply interested in the neurorehabilitation space, this conversation offers valuable insight into how SLPs play a vital role in comprehensive Parkinson’s care.
