Parkinson's Disease Therapy Program
The SPEAK OUT!® Therapy Program, developed by Parkinson Voice Project®, helps people with Parkinson’s and related disorders REGAIN and RETAIN their speech and swallowing. This highly effective, evidence-based treatment combines education, individual and group speech therapy, daily home practice, and continuous follow-ups. Participants are empowered to “speak with INTENT,” transitioning speech from an automatic function to an intentional act.
The program is offered through a relationship with the University of Redlands and Human Good – Plymouth Village. It is facilitated by graduate students supervised by licensed speech-language pathologists who are certified SPEAK OUT!® Providers. For more information, contact 909-748-8061.

He has autism, and it’s been amazing to watch him gain confidence and find his voice. He loves working with the graduate speech students, whose passion and dedication are clear. The entire staff has been wonderful, warm, and friendly. They have created such a welcoming and comforting environment where our son feels supported and able to flourish. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped our son become more confident in expressing himself.”

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about the student clinician. He worked with my dad after he suffered four strokes and consistently involved our family in his care plan. His dedication and encouragement played a huge role in helping my dad improve his speech. We are forever grateful for his compassion, hard work, and commitment.”

Client Testimonial
“Our experience at Truesdail Speech Center has been phenomenal. My child has attended many sessions, and we consistently see a noticeable increase in speech every single semester. Just as importantly, my child genuinely enjoys going to therapy. The clinicians do an incredible job of fostering a trusting, safe relationship each time we visit. As a parent of an autistic child who sometimes has behavioral challenges, it is incredibly reassuring to see that the clinicians are never fazed or upset. They handle every moment with patience and grace, creating an environment where my child can truly thrive.”
