Ann Finnimore<\/p><\/div>\n

TPCH Speech Pathologist Ann Finnimore helps patients with Parkinson\u2019s disease to manage the speech, swallowing and communication difficulties that frequently develop as a result of this progressive neurological disorder.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe run the Parkinson\u2019s disease check-in program which supports patients to self-manage their communication following treatment and to maintain their skills for interacting in their community for the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDeterioration in a person\u2019s communication through Parkinson\u2019s disease can have a big impact on their life. People can become isolated as they can\u2019t participate in relationships and activities the way they once could.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the program, I look at their communication levels before and after their treatment, and where they are now. This includes testing the volume of their speech, and their abilty to be understood by others.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether with the patient we develop strategies for successful communication and ways to apply them in everyday life.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s about giving people the skills to help maintain their communication ability out in the community, so they can live happy, active and fulfilling lives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s extremely rewarding to support people through what can be a very challenging and often uncertain time of their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>
