What are LOUD for LIFE and BIG for LIFE?
Our LOUD for LIFE and BIG for LIFE classes are virtual-live group exercise sessions conducted via Zoom for individuals who have completed all 16 sessions of the full LSVT LOUD® and/or LSVT BIG® programs. These classes are led by certified speech, physical, or occupational therapists with specialized training in LOUD for LIFE or BIG for LIFE instruction.
Each class features the LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG daily exercises, plus functional communication or functional movement practice which varies from class to class. The interactive group format connects you with participants from around the world, allowing you to practice skills in a supportive community.
Who can participate in LOUD for LIFE and BIG for LIFE classes?
These classes are for people who have previously completed all 16 sessions (one-hour sessions, 4 times per week for 4 weeks) of the full LSVT LOUD or LSVT BIG treatment programs. Participants should also be medically safe to exercise.
What is the schedule for our LOUD for LIFE and BIG for LIFE classes?
Classes meet at least once per week for one hour. We anticipate more classes will open as LSVT for LIFE expands. For more information, please contact us at lsvtforlife@lsvtglobal.com.
Are these classes therapy?
No, LOUD for LIFE and BIG for LIFE are exercise classes, not therapy sessions. They are not a substitute for assessment or treatment provided by a qualified speech, physical, or occupational therapist. Instead, these classes are intended to help you maintain the progress you achieved during therapy. Please note that participation in these classes is not typically covered by healthcare insurance.
