Performing arts and the impact on Parkinson’s disease S8E31

In this week’s episode, Jess is joined by Ailbhe Cowley and Éadaoin Flynn to discuss their research into how performing arts classes may support functional communication for people with Parkinson’s disease. They discuss the classes attended by people with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones and share insights from participant surveys on perceived changes in speech and communication.

Speech Pathology Australia acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of lands, seas and waters throughout Australia, and offers our respect to Elders, across all times and places. The Speak Up podcast recognises the central role of yarning and oral storytelling in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture, how this translates to knowledge translation, and that colonisation has interrupted these practices of Language and knowledge sharing. The Speak Up podcast acknowledges the need for truth-telling and deep listening, the central role that Language plays in connecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People with Culture, Country, and Community, and the interwoven nature of health, and social and emotional wellbeing. We recognise that the Traditional Owners of the Lands across Australia have been here since time immemorial, and that their sovereignty over this land, was never ceded.
