People affected by Parkinson’s can develop problems with communication and with eating, drinking and swallowing (dysphagia). As well as the more obvious motor changes, people with Parkinson’s may also experience non-motor changes that can impact on communication and more general quality of life, including depression, anxiety, apathy, fatigue, pain, sleep disturbance and cognitive changes. Speech and language therapists (SLTs) are a crucial part of the multidisciplinary team that helps people affected by Parkinson’s, and their families and carers, to manage their condition and maintain their quality of life.
