Parkinson Society of Ottawa Family Education Program

6/7/2011

Parkinson Society Family Education Program

We encourage everyone, the newly diagnosed as well as those managing Parkinson's for years, to attend this very informative program. The sessions, offered every three months, are hosted by professionals and involve multi-faceted presentations on:

the signs and symptoms of Parkinson's;    

speech and swallowing problems;    

medications used to treat Parkinson's;    

the psychosocial aspects of the disease; and    

the legal issues patients should be aware of.



Most importantly, the program provides a forum for an open discussion among people living with Parkinson's, their caregivers and the medical professionals on hand.
