Parkinson’s disease and its impact on speech and voice

Understanding Parkinson’s Disease and Speech

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and muscle control. As a result, many people experience changes in their voice, speech clarity, and swallowing abilities. These symptoms can significantly affect daily communication and overall quality of life.

Moreover, voice and speech difficulties often worsen over time without targeted therapy.


Common Speech and Voice Issues in Parkinson’s

Because Parkinson’s impacts the muscles used for speaking and breathing, it can lead to:
  • Soft or weak voice (hypophonia)
  • Monotone speech without natural pitch changes
  • Slurred or mumbled words
  • Short rushes of speech
  • Difficulty starting sentences
  • Swallowing problems (dysphagia)

In addition, patients may feel that their voice is louder than it actually is, leading them to speak too quietly.


How Speech Therapy Helps

Fortunately, specialized speech therapy can help improve vocal strength, clarity, and communication skills. At our Dubai clinic, Dr. Azizreza Ghasemzadeh provides evidence-based therapy tailored to the needs of each patient.

Therapy may include:
  • Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®) to strengthen voice and improve articulation
  • Breathing and posture techniques for better speech projection
  • Strategies to slow down speech rate
  • Swallowing safety exercises
  • Non-verbal communication strategies when needed

 


Our Clinic’s Approach

Because Parkinson’s disease affects each person differently, therapy plans are highly individualized. In addition, family involvement is encouraged to support communication at home and in the community.


Multilingual and Accessible Care

Our clinic offers therapy in English, Arabic, and Persian, making services accessible to Dubai’s diverse population. Sessions are held at Armada Medical Centre, and in certain cases, in-school or home-based therapy can be arranged.
