Parkinson’s & Neurological Voice and Speech Therapy

Supporting Communication Through Every Stage of Neurological Change

Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions can affect the way you speak, communicate, and interact with others. You may notice changes in volume, clarity, pace, or expression. Conversations that once felt effortless may now require more energy or concentration. These communication shifts can impact confidence, independence, and daily activity.
At American Wellness Center in Dubai Healthcare City, our Parkinson’s & Neurological Voice and Speech Therapy provides specialized, compassionate support to help adults strengthen their voice, improve speech clarity, and maintain effective communication throughout their neurological journey.

Who This Service Is For

This therapy is designed for adults living with:

• Parkinson’s disease
• Multiple sclerosis (MS)
• Motor neuron conditions
• Other progressive neurological diagnoses
• Early-stage or advanced communication changes
• Reduced vocal volume or monotone voice
• Difficulty coordinating breath and speech
• Slurred or unclear speech
• Challenges with facial expression, pace, or intonation

If communication has become slower, softer, or more effortful, targeted therapy can help restore ease and confidence.

Communication Challenges in Parkinson’s & Neurological Conditions

Neurological changes can affect different parts of the communication system, including breath support, vocal cords, articulation, and facial expression. We commonly treat:

• Hypophonia (reduced vocal volume)
• Monotone speech with limited pitch variation
• Slowed or fast speech rate
• Mumbled or slurred articulation
• Reduced facial expression or non-verbal cues
• Difficulty initiating speech
• Breath–voice coordination challenges
• Swallowing concerns related to voice and speech

Therapy focuses on strengthening these skills while supporting emotional wellbeing.

Our Therapeutic Approach

At AWC, therapy is designed to maintain and enhance communication for as long as possible. We integrate structured, evidence-based techniques with tools that fit your daily routine and physical comfort.

Our approach includes:

• Voice-strengthening exercises to improve volume and projection
• Breath support training for smoother, more controlled speech
• Articulation and clarity exercises
• Pace and rhythm strategies to aid understanding
• Facial expression and non-verbal communication work
• Cognitive-communication exercises for memory and processing
• Swallowing safety guidance when relevant
• Education for families or caregivers to support communication at home

Where helpful, therapy may be coordinated with neurology, physiotherapy, psychology, or nutrition for full multidisciplinary support.

What You Can Expect to Gain

Many adults experience meaningful improvements, such as:

• Louder, clearer, and more expressive voice
• Improved articulation and speech clarity
• Stronger breath–voice coordination
• Enhanced confidence in conversations
• Better participation in social and family activities
• Increased awareness of communication strategies
• Practical routines that maintain skills over time

Therapy focuses on maximizing ability, independence, and quality of life.
