| Popis: | Purpose Parkinson's disease (PD) is a multifaceted condition characterized by motor and nonmotor symptoms that greatly reduce individuals' quality of life. Although treatment models in speech therapy have traditionally focused on a monodisciplinary approach, benefits from allied health care have been reported for over a decade. The purpose of this clinical focus article is to describe the multidisciplinary program developed at Long Island University Brooklyn to address the needs of individuals with PD in an inclusive and diverse setting. Conclusions This clinical focus article reviews the importance of multidisciplinary care models in the management of PD and highlights the efforts of our program in building a community-wide range of services to enhance exercise, social participation, and, above all, quality of life in our patients. Future directions of the program are also discussed. |
