Rayilyn, I must say that I cannot help you with that question. This is only my first year into the program so I am not really advanced enough to say. Also, it is my obligation to follow the ASHA Code of Ethics, so I am not at liberty to really say anything. My main purpose in joining this goup is to learn about Parkinson's disease so I will have at least a little background when I do become a SLP. However, I am very sorry to hear about you loosing your voice. Have you ever thought about going to a speech-language pathologist where you live? I'm sure an SLP would be able to work with you and help you. Julie:) Rayilyn Brown wrote: >Julie, I am seeing a neuro at Loma Linda Medical Center this Tuesday, taking >my F-DOPA PET scan with me.
