2nd Speech and Swallowing School for Parkinson's Disease

Course Directors

Elina Tripoliti, PhD and Patricia Limousin, MD, PhD

The main objective of Speech and Swallowing in Parkinson’s Disease school is to provide an opportunity for speech therapists to keep informed about clinical aspects of Parkinsonism, as well as to provide the most recent knowledge about clinical management of dysarthria in PD. During the school, the idea is to provide recommendations while educating students, clinicians and researchers in order to improve their understanding of speech impairment in PD as a multidimensional, multidisciplinary and multiparametric symptom.

The program is designed as a 1 1/2-days school in order to provide an opportunity for small group workshops. We look forward to an inspiring event, providing a unique opportunity to discuss speech therapy in PD with a transdisciplinary team.

Recommended Audience

Speech therapists and speech pathologists; Neurologists and ENTs; Heath professionals specialized in PD management; Speech scientists, and neuroscientists
