ANNOUNCEMENTS:

1. THREE SCHOLARSHIP OFFERINGS: One of the purposes of PSGSC is to promote activities which benefit the Parkinson's Community. We are particularly     committed to advocating for the wellness of People with     Parkinson's (PWP). The PSGSC Board has decided to extend our support to:
  • LSVT-LOUD, a speech therapy program,
  • PARKINSON'S VOICE THERAPY (a program created by the Swain Center)
  • LSVT-BIG, a movement therapy program.
  •         All are designed for PWP and given by trained and certified professionals. PSGSC has set aside limited tuition scholarship funding. Flyers will be available on the table at each meeting that explain the commitment involved in each program. We have revised the application form to make it easier to understand and fill out. Please let us know if you are interested, and we can get the process started for you.
