GETTING HIS
VOICE BACK
When Parkinson’s caused Gary to lose his voice, Boone Therapy helped him take it back.
A
fter Gary Cannaday was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease two years ago, his voice became raspy and quiet. He noticed people had a hard time understanding what he was saying. He was also noticing new difficulty organizing his thoughts and maintaining conversations with friends and family. One of the scarier things he began to experience was difficulty swallowing his pills. He first spoke to his physical and occupational therapists who suggested he try speech therapy – this is how he was introduced to the SPEAK OUT!® Program at Boone Health.
