LSVT LOUD for LIFE Mini Series #2
If you’ve completed LSVT LOUD therapy and are exploring ways to maintain your voice long term, you might be wondering whether LSVT LOUD for LIFE classes are suitable for you.
In this post we explain who these classes are designed for and why completing the LSVT LOUD programme first is an important requirement.
If you’re new to LOUD for LIFE, you can read our first post explaining what the programme is here.
Who Are LSVT LOUD for LIFE Classes Designed For?
LSVT LOUD for LIFE classes are designed for people who have completed the full 16-session LSVT LOUD programme with a certified clinician.
These classes provide structured opportunities to continue practising the skills developed during therapy and help you maintain your voice long term.
Why Do You Need To Complete LSVT LOUD First?
This is an important question.
LSVT LOUD for LIFE classes are not therapy sessions. Instead, they are structured voice exercise classes designed to help people continue using the skills they learned during their LSVT LOUD treatment.
During LSVT LOUD therapy, a clinician works closely with you to help you strengthen and calibrate your “loud” voice.
In LOUD for LIFE classes, the focus is different. The clinician will not be shaping your voice in the same way as during therapy. Instead, the sessions provide reminders, guidance and motivation to help you continue using the skills you developed during your treatment programme.
This is why completing the full LSVT LOUD programme beforehand is essential.
For more information about the LSVT LOUD programme itself, you can also visit the official LSVT Global website.
Can I Attend If I Completed LSVT LOUD With Another Clinician?
Yes absolutely!
As long as you have completed the full LSVT LOUD programme with a certified clinician, you are welcome to attend LOUD for LIFE classes with VC Speech Therapy.
Not all clinicians who are certified to deliver LSVT LOUD therapy are also certified to deliver LOUD for LIFE classes. This means that some people complete their LSVT LOUD programme but may not have access to an ongoing maintenance group.
At VC Speech Therapy we are building a community of people who want to continue practising their voice exercises in a supportive group environment. These classes provide a structured opportunity to maintain the skills developed during therapy while connecting with others who share similar goals.
Do I Need To Live In The UK?
No.
LOUD for LIFE classes are delivered online, which means participants can join from anywhere in the world.
However, as the sessions are delivered in English, participants should feel comfortable communicating in English so they can fully take part in the exercises and group discussions.
