Occupational Therapy
& Parkinson's Disease

The Background

Hi, my name is Alyson Chew and I'm an occupational therapy doctoral student at the University of the Pacific. I had the opportunity to work with PANC and travel to many support groups across Northern California in the summer of 2025 to educate members about occupational therapy. Throughout this presentation you will learn about occupational therapy, medical professionals you should have on your team, fall prevention techniques, steps to take when a fall occurs, adaptive equipment, and an introduction to Lee Silverman Speech Treatment-BIG (LSVT-BIG).
