Parkinson's Communications Club

The PARKINSONS COMMUNICATIONS CLUB MEETS EVERY WEDNESDAY AT THE KENSINGTON FROM 10:30-11:30am. Led by Susan Wranik, the Club establishes a wellness and prevention program for individuals with PARKINSONS DISEASE AND THEIR CARE PARTNERS, with a focus on maintenance of communication skills. It stresses the importance of speaking louder to be heard in social settings. This program is a collaboration between The Kensington and The Parkinson Foundation of the National Capital Area (PFNCA.) [http://parkinsonfoundation.org/]The PARKINSONS COMMUNICATIONS CLUB IS LED BY A LICENSED SPEECH-language therapist, Susan Wranik, who has been trained in LSVT LOUD therapy [https://www.lsvtglobal.com/patient-resources/what-is-lsvt-loud] (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment, which improves vocal loudness by stimulating muscles of the voice box and speech mechanism through systematic exercises). The Club, however, is not therapy. Rather, it is a group approach to applying the exercises and skills of LOUD and/or other therapies. The program is available at no cost. _Please RSVP to join us._ __ABOUT SUSAN WRANIK, MS, MA, CCC-SLP: Susan is a Speech-Language Pathologist and President of Susan I. Wranik Associates, LLC.
