LSVT LOUD speech therapy and LSVT BIG physical/occupational therapy represent a compelling paradox in neurological rehabilitation: highly structured, standardized protocols paired with remarkable flexibility to address individual patient needs. This unique balance of "personalized standardization” is the cornerstone of LSVT's success.
The standardized elements of LSVT include:
- A precise 4-week treatment schedule
- Consistent focus on increasing voice and movement amplitude
- Structured daily homework and carryover tasks
Within this framework, LSVT offers exceptional adaptability by:
- Customizing exercises to align with personal goals
- Modifying complexity for patients with varying cognitive abilities and neurological diagnoses
- Applying techniques to diverse functional tasks and real-world settings
By integrating neuroplasticity principles like intensity, repetition, and saliency, LSVT achieves both scientific rigor and individualized care. This dual approach enables universally effective protocols while optimizing outcomes for each unique patient, improving lives across a wide spectrum of neurological conditions.
In this episode, we are joined by two experts in the field, Angela Halpern and Laura Gusé, to delve into how LSVT treatments embrace this paradox, transforming neurological rehabilitation and enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals.
Guests: Angela Halpern, MS, CCC-SLP
Laura Gusé, MPT
Host: Elizabeth Peterson, MA, CCC-SLP

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
