  • Summary

  • Join us on a fascinating journey with Speech Language Pathologist, Brittany Peck, as we unravel the complexities of swallowing and what people with Parkinson's may be experiencing. Brittany's expertise illuminates how the reduction of dopamine, can lead to a slow-down in the oral musculature, causing difficulties in swallowing. Yet, as we learn, there's a beacon of hope with retraining and awareness.

    We discuss the clinical swallow evaluation process, potential treatments, and even share some handy tricks for taking medication. If you're in a remote location, fret not! Brittany enlightens us about her home-based practice in the Finger Lakes region of New York, and how she's leveraging technology to deliver speech-language pathology services to those in rural and remote areas. Finally, we list some key indicators that could signal swallowing difficulties. So, come aboard and learn how to manage and improve swallowing issues related to Parkinson's.
