From Parkinson’s to Pediatrics: The Serendipitous Science Behind LSVT LOUD for KIDS

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Cynthia Fox, co-founder of LSVT Global, as we unravel the remarkable story of how LSVT LOUD—a groundbreaking speech therapy designed for Parkinson’s disease—found its way into the lives of children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and other pediatric conditions. Discover the serendipitous collaboration with Dr. Carol Boliek, the pivotal single-case study that ignited this movement, and the decades-long journey of rigorous research spanning acoustic-perceptual measures, physiological responses, parent-reported outcomes, and cutting-edge neural imaging. Learn how clinicians are now utilizing LSVT LOUD for children with autism, ataxia, and muscular dystrophy, and why Dr. Fox’s team developed specialized LSVT LOUD for KIDS training to empower therapists worldwide. This episode blends scientific curiosity with heartfelt innovation, revealing how a simple “what if?” question transformed into a lifeline for families. Whether you're a clinician, researcher, or someone impacted by a neurological condition, this discussion will highlight the incredible versatility of LSVT treatments and their potential to improve communication and mobility across the lifespan.
