LSVT (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment) Therapy Services in Toms River and Ocean County, NJ

Transforming Lives with LSVT for Parkinson’s Disease

At Shore Therapy Services, we specialize in LSVT, a scientifically-supported treatment designed specifically to improve vocal loudness and speech clarity for individuals with Parkinson’s disease. Our certified LSVT therapists are dedicated to helping clients regain their ability to speak clearly and confidently, enhancing their communication abilities and overall quality of life.

What is LSVT?

LSVT (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment) is an effective speech therapy specifically developed for people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions. The therapy focuses on increasing vocal loudness and improving respiratory and laryngeal functions essential for speech. It is based on the principle that the voice can be strengthened with exercise, just like physical therapy can strengthen limbs.

Our LSVT Therapy Approach

At Shore Therapy Services, we implement a rigorous LSVT program tailored to each individual’s needs, involving:
Intensive Treatment

Four consecutive days a week for four weeks, providing a total of 16 sessions. This intensive regimen helps to quickly build strength and endurance in the vocal cords and respiratory system.

High Effort Practice

Each session involves high-effort practice including loud exercises and speech tasks that help to generalize louder voice to daily communication.

Calibration

We help clients recognize that their softer voice is not sufficient for effective communication and train them to use a louder voice at a level that feels normal to them.

Benefits of LSVT Therapy

Patients who complete the LSVT program typically experience significant improvements in vocal loudness, which include:

Increased Vocal Volume

Patients learn to speak louder and more clearly without straining their voices, which makes communication easier and more effective.

Improved Speech Clarity

Enhanced articulation helps in making speech more understandable to others, reducing misunderstandings.

Greater Confidence in Communication

The ability to speak well enhances social interaction and increases participation in more activities, improving overall quality of life.
