Session 1: Diet & Mealtimes in Parkinson's

"Navigating Parkinson’s" is a 6-part series that provides a roadmap for people with Parkinson's to learn how to actively manage key symptoms and improve their well-being and quality of life. Each workshop lasts 60 minutes, covering key topics related to Parkinson's and providing practical tools for effective management.
Difficulties swallowing can be some of the most frustrating and potentially serious problems associated with Parkinson’s, leading to infections and unintended weight loss as well as embarrassment in social situations and when dining out. Join speech language pathologist specializing in Parkinson’s, John Dean, MA CCC-SLP, for a discussion about actionable strategies to make the process of eating easier, including at home as well as in public. There will also be advice for swallowing medications.
